Background

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a heterotrimeric complex consisting of a catalytic  alpha subunit and regulatory beta  and gamma  subunits. Each subunit exists as alternate isoforms ( alpha 1,  alpha 2, beta 1,  beta 2,  gamma 1,  gamma 2,  gamma 3), with all 12 combinations able to form complexes. The catalytic alpha  subunit of AMPK is activated allosterically by AMP, and by phosphorylation via the AMPK kinases LKB1 and CaMKK beta . AMPK’s role in metabolic regulation has implicated this serine/threonine kinase as a therapeutic target in heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
