Anti- AMPKα Recombinant Rabbit

AMPK alpha (AMP-activated protein kinase alpha) is a critical regulatory enzyme that helps maintain cellular energy homeostasis. It is the catalytic subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) complex, which is activated in response to changes in cellular energy levels, particularly when AMP or ADP levels rise and ATP levels fall. Upon activation, AMPK regulates various metabolic pathways to restore energy balance by promoting catabolic processes (such as glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation) and inhibiting anabolic processes (like protein and lipid synthesis). AMPK plays a vital role in cellular processes such as metabolism, autophagy, and cell growth, and is involved in broader physiological functions, including insulin sensitivity, exercise metabolism, and aging. Due to its involvement in these processes, AMPK is a target of interest in the study of metabolic disorders, obesity, and diabetes.
