Abstract excerpt
Although mutations in the gamma-subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) can result in excessive glycogen accumulation and cardiac hypertrophy, the mechanisms by which this occurs have not been well defined. Because >65% of cardiac AMPK activity is associated with the gamma1-subunit of AMPK, we investigated the effects of expression of an AMPK-activating gamma1-subunit mutant (gamma1 R70Q) on regulatory...
