In response to reduction of intracellular ATP levels, AMPK activates energy-producing pathways and inhibits energy-consuming processes: inhibits protein, carbohydrate and lipid biosynthesis, as well as cell growth and proliferation. AMPK acts via direct phosphorylation of metabolic enzymes, and by longer-term effects via phosphorylation of transcription regulators. Also acts as a regulator of cellular polarity by remodeling the actin cytoskeleton; probably by indirectly activating myosin. Gamma non-catalytic subunit mediates binding to AMP, ADP and ATP, leading to activate or inhibit AMPK: AMP-binding results in allosteric activation of alpha catalytic subunit (PRKAA1 or PRKAA2) both by inducing phosphorylation and preventing dephosphorylation of catalytic subunits. ADP also stimulates phosphorylation, without stimulating already phosphorylated catalytic subunit. ATP promotes dephosphorylation of catalytic subunit, rendering the AMPK enzyme inactive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReagent standardization: using recombinant proteins as reference materials for quantitative calibration and cross-study comparability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteraction-focused studies: mapping binding partners, affinity changes, and structure–function relationships across variants or domains.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-omic readouts: combining recombinant perturbations with transcript, protein, and functional endpoints to connect mechanism to phenotype.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssay development and validation: use as a defined input or standard where protein identity is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding studies: evaluate interaction strength and specificity using plate-based or biophysical formats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCell-response profiling: add protein to cultured cells and interpret downstream marker changes with appropriate controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpretation is most robust when signal changes are evaluated relative to matched controls (buffer-only, unrelated protein controls, or pathway controls) and when readouts are compared across dose and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsoforms and PTMs can influence binding and activity; ensure the expressed region and expression system match your experimental needs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences may affect receptor binding or antibody recognition; confirm species\/source alignment with your model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse concept-level controls such as negative controls (no protein), matrix controls, or orthogonal readouts to support conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt keyword search: https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=PRKAG2 - NCBI Gene search: https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=PRKAG2 - PubMed search: https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=PRKAG2 - Ensembl search: https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=PRKAG2 - Reactome Pathway Browser: https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=PRKAG2 --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53053021684077,"sku":"CSB-EP887021HU-1MG","price":2466.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53053145678189,"sku":"CSB-EP887021HU-100UG","price":578.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53053145710957,"sku":"CSB-EP887021HU-20UG","price":306.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-EP887021HU-SDS.jpg?v=1772172789","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-human-5-amp-activated-protein-kinase-subunit-gamma-2-prkag2-bhp10503327","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
