Vectors for Human PRKAB2

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol PRKAB2
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name protein kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit beta 2
  • Other Aliases -
  • Other Desigations 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase subunit beta-2; 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase, beta-2 subunit; AMP-activated protein kinase beta 2 non-catalytic subunit; AMPK beta 2; AMPK beta-2 chain; AMPK subunit beta-2; protein kinase, AMP-activated, beta 2 non-catalytic subunit
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene is a regulatory subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a heterotrimer consisting of an alpha catalytic subunit, and non-catalytic beta and gamma subunits. AMPK is an important energy-sensing enzyme that monitors cellular energy status. In response to cellular metabolic stresses, AMPK is activated, and thus phosphorylates and inactivates acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and beta-hydroxy beta-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), key enzymes involved in regulating de novo biosynthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol. This subunit may be a positive regulator of AMPK activity. It is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and thus may have tissue-specific roles. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
