Responsible for the regulation of fatty acid synthesis by phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. It also regulates cholesterol synthesis via phosphorylation and inactivation of hormone-sensitive lipase and hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase. Appears to act as a metabolic stress-sensing protein kinase switching off biosynthetic pathways when cellular ATP levels are depleted and when 5'-AMP rises in response to fuel limitation and/or hypoxia. This is a catalytic subunit. Hurley RL, et al. (2005) J Biol Chem. Aug 12; 280(32): 29060-29066Woods A, et al. (2003) Curr Biol. Nov 11; 13(22): 2004-2008Nielsen JN, et al. (2003) J Appl Physiol.

Species
Homo Sapiens (Human)
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous level of total AMPKa1/AMPKa2 protein.
Catalytic subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensor protein kinase that plays a key role in regulating cellular energy metabolism. In response to reduction of intracellular ATP levels, AMPK activates energy-producing pathways and inhibits energy-consuming processes
Protein kinase superfamily, CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family, SNF1 subfamily
