"Activation of the Akt pathway blocks the apoptotic pathway by negatively regulating the activity of BAD, a member of the Bcl2 family that binds to Bcl2 or Bcl-XL and inhibits their anti-apoptotic activity [XREF_BIBR], and the ASK1 and JNK mediated pro apoptotic pathway via phosphorylation of ASK1 at ser83 that inhibits ASK1 activity [XREF_BIBR]."

"Moreover, rescue experiments indicated that, in DKK3 TG mice, the activation of ASK1 using a cardiac-specific conditional ASK1 transgene reduced the functionality of DKK3 in response to pressure overload; furthermore, the inactivation of ASK1 by dominant-negative ASK1 rescued pressure overload-induced cardiac abnormalities in DKK3 KO mice."
