Background Information
AMPK is a serine/threonine protein kinase complex consisting of a catalytic α-subunit (α1 and α2), a scaffolding β-subunit (β1 and β2), and a regulatory γ-subunit (γ1, γ2, and γ3). Ubiquitous expression of AMPKα1-, β1-, and γ1-subunits in many tissues makes the α1β1γ1 complex a reference for AMPK assays to identify AMPK activators. AMPK is generally quiescent under normal conditions but is activated in response to signals and stresses that increase the AMP/ATP ratio, such as hypoglycemia, strenuous exercise, anoxia, and ischemia. An increase in the ratio of AMP/ATP activates AMPK by several mechanisms, including direct allosteric activation and covalent modification in which an AMP-dependent AMPK kinase (AMPKK) phosphorylates the α subunit on Thr172. Once activated, AMPK switches on catabolic pathways that generate ATP, while switching off ATP-consuming processes (e.g., biosynthesis, cell growth, and proliferation), and in doing so acts as an "energy gauge".
