Product Overview
Clone 6G1 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that recognizes 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase subunit beta-2 (gene PRKAB2) in human samples and is validated for flow cytometry, IHC, ICC/IF and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 30.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 34 kDa.
AMPK β2 (PRKAB2) is a scaffolding subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase that links the α catalytic and γ regulatory subunits into a functional complex. The β2 isoform predominates in skeletal muscle, and complexes containing it help cells respond to energy stress by reprogramming lipid, glucose and protein metabolism.
