Storage/Stability:

Immunogen:

Peptide sequence around aa. 181~185/170~174 (L-R-T-S-C) derived from Human AMPKα1/AMPKα2.

Purification:

Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific peptide.

Specificity/Sensitivity:

The antibody detects endogenous level of total AMPKa1/AMPKa2 protein.

Applications:

WB IHC IF

Background:

Responsible for the regulation of fatty acid synthesis by phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. It also regulates cholesterol synthesis via phosphorylation and inactivation of hormone-sensitive lipase and hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase. Appears to act as a metabolic stress-sensing protein kinase switching off biosynthetic pathways when cellular ATP levels are depleted and when 5'-AMP rises in response to fuel limitation and/or hypoxia. This is a catalytic subunit.
