General description

Pathway Explorer Antibody MiniPack:
Each Pathway Explorer Antibody Minipack contains three related antibodies as part of a signaling cascade or a combination of total and phosphorylated forms of key signaling targets. Each of the three antibodies are 30% the original pack size. Full size versions of each of the Pathway Explorer antibodies are available for sale individually under the same catalog number with the removal of “SP” off of each one (e.g. 05-591SP can be ordered as 05-591).

AMPK:
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a metabolic and stress-sensing kinase that regulates homeostasis, and a key target for treating Type 2 diabetes and obesity. AMPK exists as a heterotrimeric complex comprised of catalytic alpha subunits (62 kDa) and non-catalytic beta and gamma subunits. Alpha subunit has at least two isoforms (alpha 1 and alpha 2) which differ in their subcellular localization and AMP-dependence. AMPK is phosphorylated by upstream kinases, AMPK Kinase (AMPKK) and LKB1 which results in its activation. Active AMPK regulates metabolism by phosphorylating rate-limiting enzymes in metabolic pathways and controlling gene expression. Phosphorylation of threonine 172 in the activation loop of the alpha subunit is a key determinant of AMPK activity.

Quality

07-681SP:Routinely evaluated by immunoblot on RIPA lysates from overnight starved HEK293 cells and partially purified rat liver AMPK.

Western Blot Analysis:
0.5-2 μg/mL of this lot detected phospho-AMPK α in RIPA lysates from overnight serum starved HEK293 cells and partially purified rat liver AMPK. Signal was reduced after treatment of lysate with λ-phosphatase.

07-363SP: Routinely evaluated by immunoblot in a rat liver preparation.

Western Blot Analysis:
1-2 μg/mL of this lot detected AMPK α2 in a rat liver preparation.


07-350SP: Routinely evaluated by immunoblot in RIPA lysates from non-stimulated A431 cells.

Western Blot Analysis:
0.5-2 μg/mL of this lot detected AMPK α1 in RIPA lysates from non-stimulated A431 cells.

Target description

~63 kDa;

Physical form

3 individual tubes containing either Anti-AMPK α1; Anti-AMPKα2; or Anti-phospho-AMPKα (Thr172)
Format: Purified
Protein A purified

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol-containing solutions to become frozen during storage.

Analysis Note

Control
For 07-681SP use HEK293 cells or rat liver AMPK.

For 07-363SP use Rat liver preparation.

For 07-350SP use A431cell lysate, or lysate of HeLa cells treated with heat shock.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. Steroid hormones and bile acids are potent regulators of hepatic carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Steroid 5β-reductase (AKR1D1) is highly expressed in human liver where it inactivates steroid hormones
