Gene Information
human ... PRKAA1(5562)
General description
PRKAA1 gene encodes the catalytic α-subunit of 5′ AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) that belongs to ser/thr protein kinase family and is localized both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. AMPK is a heterotrimeric complex consists of a catalytic α subunit and regulatory β and γ subunits.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human PRKAA1
Application
Anti-PRKAA1 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1μg/mL.
Biochem/physiol Actions
AMPK is a cellular energy sensor present in all eukaryotic cells. It is stimulated by high AMP and low ATP concentration and regulates the activities of a number of key metabolic enzymes through allosteric mechanism. Increasing concentrations of AMP during the energy shortage stimulates phosphorylation by an upstream protein kinase and inhibits dephosphorylation, resulting in activation of catabolic pathways and switching off of ATP-consuming biosynthetic pathways. PRKAA1 also facilitates the autophagy-mediated damaged mitochondria clearance for erythrocyte maturation and homeostasis. Additionally, AMPK phosphorylates TSC2 to protect cells from energy deprivation-induced apoptosis and regulates cell growth and survival.

The PRKAA1 gene encodes the catalytic α-subunit of 5′ AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a cellular energy sensor that maintains energy homeostasis within the cell and is activated when the AMP/ATP ratio increases. When activated, AMPK increases catabolic processes

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is one of the major energy sensor at both: cellular and whole body level. It exists as heterotrimer containing three subunits: the catalytic α subunit, β and regulatory γ. AMPK is localized both in the cytoplasm

Mutations in either the TSC1 or TSC2 tumor suppressor gene are responsible for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. The gene products of TSC1 and TSC2 form a functional complex and inhibit the phosphorylation of S6K and 4EBP1, two key regulators of translation.

AMP-activated protein kinase α1 knockout (prkaa1(-/-)) mice manifest splenomegaly and anemia. The underlying molecular mechanisms, however, remain to be established. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that defective autophagy-dependent mitochondrial clearance in prkaa1(-/-) mice exacerbates oxidative stress, thereby enhancing

Alzheimer disease (AD) is usually accompanied by two prominent pathological features, cerebral accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and presence of MAPT/tau neurofibrillary tangles. Dysregulated clearance of Aβ largely contributes to its accumulation and plaque formation in the brain. Macroautophagy/autophagy is
