Biochem/physiol Actions

Under conditions of nutrient scarcity, AMPK functions as a metabolic checkpoint and inhibits cellular growth. Upon activation, AMPK promotes glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation thereby reducing energy-consuming processes like protein and lipid synthesis. Furthermore, AMPK regulates autophagy and mitophagy. It also facilitates catabolic pathways to generate more ATP as a response to decreased ATP production.
