Target Details for PRKAA2

Target: PRKAA2 (Protein Kinase, AMP-Activated, alpha 2 Catalytic Subunit (PRKAA2))

Alternative Name: PRKAA2

Background: The protein encoded by this gene is a catalytic 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. Studies of the mouse counterpart suggest that this catalytic subunit may control whole-body insulin sensitivity and is necessary for maintaining myocardial energy homeostasis during ischemia.Synonyms: 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase catalytic subunit alpha-2, AMPK alpha-2 chain, AMPK2
