Abstract excerpt
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an energy-sensing Ser/Thr protein kinase originally shown to be regulated by AMP. AMPK is activated by various cellular stresses that inhibit ATP production or stimulate ATP consumption. In addition to its role in metabolism, AMPK has recently been reported to reshape cells by regulating cell polarity and division. However, the downstream targets of AMPK that participate in...
