5' AMP-activated protein kinase or AMPK or 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase is an enzyme (EC 2.7.11.31) that plays a role in cellular energy homeostasis, largely to activate glucose and fatty acid uptake and oxidation when cellular energy is low.
AMPK is a cellular energy sensor conserved in all eukaryotic cells. The kinase activity of AMPK is activated by the stimuli that increase the cellular AMP/ATP ratio. AMPK regulates the activities of a number of key metabolic enzymes through phosphorylation. It protects cells from stresses that cause ATP depletion by switching off ATP-consuming ...

Low AMPK Levels: Every overweight or obese individual in the study demonstrated low AMPK activity, making it harder for their bodies to process carbs as fuel. High AMPK in Healthy Individuals : Conversely, participants with healthy body weights showed elevated AMPK function, leading to more efficient carb utilization, improved energy, and ...
The STK11/LKB1 gene, which encodes a member of the serine/threonine kinase family, regulates cell polarity and functions as a tumour suppressor.. LKB1 is a primary upstream kinase of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (), a necessary element in cell metabolism that is required for maintaining energy homeostasis.
