Background: AMPK (A1/B1/G3) is a member of the AMPK family which are heterotrimeric proteins consisting of an alpha catalytic subunit, and non-catalytic beta and gamma subunits. AMPKs are an important energy-sensing enzyme group in the cells that monitor energy status particularly in response to stress (1). AMPKs regulate fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis by regulating the key rate-limiting enzymes acetyl-CoA carboxylase and hydroxy beta-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase. The γ subunit is dominantly expressed in skeletal muscle where it may play a key role in the regulation of energy metabolism (2).
Description: Recombinant human AMPK (combination of A1/B1/G3 subunits), full length, with C-terminal His-tags, expressed in Sf9 insect cells via a baculovirus expression system. MW = 68 kDa (A1), 38 kDa (B1), 51 kDa (G3).
