Gene: [01p31/PRKAA2] protein kinase, AMP-activated, alpha 2 catalytic subunit;
|
FUN |
AMP-activated protein kinase plays a key role in the regulation of fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism (Hardie-1992). In vitro, it phosphorylates and inactivates 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (GEM:05q1/HMGCR) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (GEM:17q21/ACACA), key enzymes involved in regulating de novo biosynthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids, respectively." |
