The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an enzyme that plays an important role in the regulation of biosynthetic processes in cells of mammals plays. The three subunits α, β, γ each have several isoforms, so that there are several isoforms of AMPK, some of which are tissue-specific . Mutations in PRKAG2 - gene are rare hereditary types of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy responsible.
function
AMPK is a heterotrimeric protein made up of the catalytic alpha-1 (PRKAA1), beta-1 (PRKAB1) and gamma-1 (PRKAG1) subunits; its task is to protect cells from a lack of ATP, i.e. a lack of energy. This is achieved by switching off energy-intensive biosyntheses in that the AMPK inhibits several enzymes responsible for cholesterol and fatty acid biosynthesis through phosphorylation (including HMG-CoA reductase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase ). AMPK is regulated by the cell's AMP and ATP levels, with another kinase , LKB1, also being involved. AMP is a breakdown product of ATP and therefore a suitable indicator of energy deficiency. The AMPK occurs as a homolog in many other species ( yeasts and even higher plants) and therefore appears to be a tool for protection against energy deficiency in cells that appeared at an early stage in evolution.
