Abstract excerpt
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a key role in the regulation of energy metabolism in eukaryotic cells acting as a metabolic sensor. In its activated form AMPK inhibits ATP consuming pathways and stimulates ATP generating pathways. A dominant mutation, denoted RN(-), in the porcine PRKAG3 gene, encoding the regulatory gamma3 subunit of AMPK, results in hyperaccumulation of glycogen in glycolytic...
