The protein encoded by this gene is a catalytic subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a heterotrimer consisting of an alpha catalytic subunit, and non-catalytic beta and gamma subunits. AMPK is an important energy-sensing enzyme that monitors cellular energy status. In response to cellular metabolic stresses, AMPK is activated, and thus phosphorylates and inactivates acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and beta-hydroxy beta-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), key enzymes involved in regulating de novo biosynthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol. Studies of the mouse counterpart suggest that this catalytic subunit may control whole-body insulin sensitivity and is necessary for maintaining myocardial energy homeostasis during ischemia.
Titration of the AMPK alpha 2 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 453-483 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this AMPK alpha 2 antibody.
Aliquot the AMPK alpha 2 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
