Anti-AMPK gamma 1 antibody [Y307],Abcam,AB32382

Target data AMP/ATP-binding subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensor protein kinase that plays a key role in regulating cellular energy metabolism (PubMed : 21680840, PubMed : 24563466). In response to reduction of intracellular ATP levels, AMPK activates energy-producing pathways and inhibits energy-consuming processes : inhibits protein, carbohydrate and lipid biosynthesis, as well as cell growth and proliferation (PubMed : 21680840, PubMed : 24563466). AMPK acts via direct phosphorylation of metabolic enzymes, and by longer-term effects via phosphorylation of transcription regulators (PubMed : 21680840, PubMed : 24563466). Also acts as a regulator of cellular polarity by remodeling the actin cytoskeleton; probably by indirectly activating myosin (PubMed : 21680840, PubMed : 24563466). Gamma non-catalytic subunit mediates binding to AMP, ADP and ATP, leading to activate or inhibit AMPK : AMP-binding results in allosteric activation of alpha catalytic subunit (PRKAA1 or PRKAA2) both by inducing phosphorylation and preventing dephosphorylation of catalytic subunits (PubMed : 21680840, PubMed : 24563466). ADP also stimulates phosphorylation, without stimulating already phosphorylated catalytic subunit (PubMed : 21680840, PubMed : 24563466). ATP promotes dephosphorylation of catalytic subunit, rendering the AMPK enzyme inactive (PubMed : 21680840, PubMed : 24563466). See full target information PRKAG1
