Merck, A4611-10UG, AMPK (α1/β2/γ1), active, His tagged human

Biochem/physiol Actions
AMPK (A1/B2/G1) is a member of the AMPK family which are heterotrimeric proteins consisting of an α catalytic subunit, and non-catalytic β and γ subunits. AMPKs are an important energy-sensing enzyme group in the cells that monitor energy status particularly in response to stress. AMPKs regulate fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis by regulating the key rate-limiting enzymes acetyl-CoA carboxylase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase. The β subunit may be a positive regulator of AMPK activity and is highly expressed in skeletal muscle.
