Abstract excerpt
The evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), functions as a cellular fuel gauge that regulates metabolic pathways in glucose and fatty acid metabolism and protein synthesis, and recent data demonstrate that it also plays a critical role in systemic energy balance. PRKAA2, the gene that encodes the α2 catalytic subunit of AMPK, showed be involved in the glucose and...
