AMPKα1/2 Antibody (D-6) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a kappa light chain antibody raised against amino acids 251-550 mapping at the C-terminus of AMPKα1 of human origin, exhibiting reactivity with mouse, rat, and human species. Anti-AMPKα1/2 antibody (D-6) targets the alpha subunits (α1 and α2) of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a critical energy sensor and regulator of cellular metabolism. AMPK is a heterotrimeric complex composed of a catalytic α subunit and regulatory β and γ subunits. AMPK becomes activated in response to increases in the AMP/ATP ratio within cells, indicating low energy availability. Once activated, AMPK phosphorylates various downstream targets to inhibit anabolic pathways that consume ATP, such as fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, and to stimulate catabolic pathways that generate ATP, like glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation. This regulation is essential for maintaining energy homeostasis and has significant implications in metabolic disorders, including diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Dysregulation of AMPK activity is associated with insulin resistance and tumor growth, making AMPK a critical focus in therapeutic research. AMPKα1/2 (D-6) antibody is suitable for applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and immunohistochemistry, providing a valuable tool for researchers investigating cellular energy regulation, metabolic pathways, and related diseases.

When staining cells or tissue, should nuclear or cytoplasmic staining be expected?

Asked by: AbPolly
Thank you for your inquiry. For AMPK alpha 1 and AMPK alpha 2, both nuclear and cytoplasmic localizations have been observed. For your specific sample type, it is best to refer to literature.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Phosphorylation of LKB1 by PDK1 Inhibits Cell ProlThe master kinase LKB1 is a key regulator of se veral cellular processes, including cell proliferation, cell polarity and cellular metabolism. It phosphorylates and activates several downstream kinases, including AMP-dependent kinase, AMPK. Activation of AMPK by low energy supply and phosphorylation of LKB1 results in an inhibition of mTOR, thus decreasing energy-consuming processes, in particular translation and, thus, cell growth. LKB1 itself is a constitutively active kinase, which is regulated by posttranslational modifications and direct binding to phospholipids of the plasma membrane. Here, we report that LKB1 binds to Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase (PDK1) by a conserved binding motif. Furthermore, a PDK1-consensus motif is located within the kinase domain of LKB1 and LKB1 gets phosphorylated by PDK1 in vitro. In Drosophila, knockin of phosphorylation-deficient LKB1 results in normal survival of the flies, but an increased activation of LKB1, whereas a phospho-mimetic LKB1 variant displays decreased AMPK activation. As a functional consequence, cell growth as well as organism size is decreased in phosphorylation-deficient LKB1. Molecular dynamics simulations of PDK1-mediated LKB1 phosphorylation revealed changes in the ATP binding pocket, suggesting a conformational change upon phosphorylation, which in turn can alter LKB1’s kinase activity. Thus, phosphorylation of LKB1 by PDK1 results in an inhibition of LKB1, decreased activation of AMPK and enhanced cell growth.
