Abstract
ASK1, also known as MAP3K5, plays a vital role in the MAPK pathway. The MAPK pathway has a variety of biological functions and plays an important role in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Studies have shown that ASK1 is involved in apoptosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and other processes and plays an essential role in various liver diseases. Therefore, ASK1 can be a therapeutic target for treating liver disease. Here, we initially summarized the effect of ASK1 on liver disease and described the differential regulation of ASK1, including phosphorylation, ubiquitination and methylation, by which the effects of ASK1 on some liver diseases can be inhibited. Although much has been discovered about the phosphorylation of ASK1, the effects of other post-transcriptional modifications on the activity of ASK1 require further exploration. We hope that by summarizing the existing regulatory mechanism we can shed new light on the research and provide new ideas for finding ASK1-targeting drugs.
