AMPKβ1 Antibody (1A7-E11-E9) is a mouse monoclonal IgG antibody that detects AMPKβ1 in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. AMPKβ1 is a crucial regulatory subunit of the 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) complex, which plays a vital role in cellular energy homeostasis. AMPKβ1 is primarily located in the cytoplasm and is essential for the proper functioning of AMPK, as AMPKβ1 helps to stabilize the complex and facilitate activation in response to cellular stressors that lead to ATP depletion. The localization of AMPKβ1 in the cytoplasm allows for rapid signaling responses to changes in energy status, enabling cells to adapt metabolic pathways accordingly. By promoting the phosphorylation of key enzymes involved in lipid and glucose metabolism, AMPKβ1 helps maintain energy balance and prevent metabolic disorders. The human AMPKβ1 gene encodes a 271 amino acid protein, which interacts with the catalytic α subunit and the γ subunit, forming a heterotrimeric complex essential for AMPK′s function. AMPKβ1′s ability to modulate energy expenditure and metabolic processes underscores its importance in maintaining cellular health and preventing diseases associated with energy dysregulation.
