ASC: ELISA Kits

ASC contains an N-terminal Pyrin domain and C-terminal CARD (Caspase-recruitment Domain), and is a p53 target protein that serves as an adaptor to the pro-apoptotic Bax molecule. The interaction of ASC with Bax promotes apoptosis in response to many apoptotic stimuli. Methylation of the ASC gene has been correlated with decreased protein expression in numerous types of cancer.
