The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ser/thr protein kinase family. It is the catalytic subunit of the 5-prime-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a cellular energy sensor conserved in all eukaryotic cells. The kinase activity of AMPK is activated by the stimuli that increase the cellular AMP/ATP ratio. AMPK regulates the activities of a number of key metabolic enzymes through phosphorylation. It protects cells from stresses that cause ATP depletion by switching off ATP-consuming biosynthetic pathways. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.
Western blot analysis of lysates from C2C12 cells, using Phospho-AMPKalpha1-S496 Rabbit mAb (AP1002) at 1:1000 dilution. C2C12 cells were treated with oligomycin (0. 5 µM) at 37°C for 30 minutes.
