Background: AMPK (A1/B2/G1) 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 β subunit may be a positive regulator of AMPK activity and is highly expressed in skeletal muscle (2).

Description: Recombinant human AMPK (combination of A1/B2/G1 subunits), full length, with C-terminal His-tags, expressed in Sf9 insect cells via a baculovirus expression system. MW = 68 kDa (A1), 36 kDa (B2), 40 kDa (G1).
