MeSH definition : Intracellular signaling protein kinases that play a signaling role in the regulation
of cellular energy metabolism. Their activity largely depends upon the concentration
of cellular AMP which is increased under conditions of low energy or metabolic stress.
AMP-activated protein kinases modify enzymes involved in LIPID METABOLISM, which in
turn provide substrates needed to convert AMP into ATP.;
MeSH synonym : 5' AMP activated protein kinase; AMP activated protein kinase; AMP-Activated protein kinase; 5'-AMP-Activated protein kinase; AMP-Activated kinase; AMP activated kinase; AMP activated protein kinases;
CISMeF acronym : AMPK;
MeSH hyponym : AMP-Activated protein kinase alpha subunits; AMP-Activated protein kinase gamma subunits; AMP-Activated protein kinase beta subunits; AMP Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunits; AMP-Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunit; AMP Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunit; AMP Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunits; AMP-Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunit; AMP Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunit; AMP Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunits; PRKAA; AMP-Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunit; AMP Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunit;
