Mouse AMPK alpha 1 ELISA Kit (Colorimetric)

The 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a member of the SNF1 (sucrose non-fermentor) kinase family (1) AMPK is a heterotrimeric protein comprising alpha (63 kDa), beta (38 kDa) and gamma (38 kDa) subunits. The alpha subunit is the catalytic subunit (which requires phosphorylation to be active) (2-3). Beta and gamma are non-catalytic subunits, although they have been found to interact with the active subunit in liver. AMPK regulates fatty acid and sterol synthesis by phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA as well as cholesterol synthesis via phosphorylation and inactivation of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (4). AMPK also appears to play a role in protecting cells from stresses that cause ATP depletion by switching off ATP-consuming biosynthetic pathways
