Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | P54619 |
Synonym | AMPK, AMPKa1 |
Background | The PRKAA1 gene encodes the catalytic alpha-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. Moreover, AMPK has been shown to be involved in inhibiting tumour growth and metastasis, and has also been implicated in the pathology of neurodegenerative and cardiac disorders. All 5 tested tag SNPs of the PRKAA1 gene (rs1336177, rs154268, rs385486, rs688293, and rs174991) were significantly associated with gastric cancer.An inhibitor of PRKAA1 promoted the secretion of IL6, whereas an agonist of PRKAA1 suppressed the production of IL6. |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the human PRKAG1 (P54619) (Met 1-Pro 331), constructed the plasmid 1; A DNA sequence encoding the human PRKAB1 (Q9Y478) (Met 1-Ile 270), constructed the plasmid 2; A DNA sequence encoding the human PRKAA1 (Q13131-1) (Met 1-Gln 559) was fused with the N-terminal His-tagged GST tag at the N-terminus, constructed the plasmid 3. The three plasmids were co-expressed and the heterotrimer was purifie. |
