Abstract excerpt
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), known as a key regulator of cellular energy homeostasis, plays an important role in regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, and protein synthesis in mammals. The characterization of porcine PRKAA2 encoding the alpha 2 catalytic subunit of AMPK is reported in this study. PRKAA2 was assigned to porcine chromosome 6q by analysis of radiation hybrids (IMpRH panel), and its...
