Background: AMPK is a heterotrimer protein kinase consisting of an α catalytic subunit, and non-catalytic β and γ subunits. AMPK is an important energy-sensing enzyme that monitors cellular energy status (1). In response to cellular metabolic stresses, AMPK is activated and phosphorylates and inactivates acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and beta-hydroxy beta-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), key enzymes involved in regulating biosynthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol (2).

Description: Recombinant full-length human AMPK (combination of A1/B1/G1 subunits) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using a C-terminal His tag. The gene accession number for the three subunits (A1/B1/G1) is NM_006251, NM_006253, and NM_002733, respectively. This protein has been activated with CAMKK.
