AMPK is a protein complex composed of three subunits: α (green), β (brown), and γ (blue). When bound to adenosine monophosphate (AMP), AMPK is activated and the active loop is protected against …

Oct 31, 2022 · Recent advances revealed several non-canonical pathways for AMPK activation, including roles of calcium, nutrients and metabolites, as well as DNA and lysosome damage, …

6 days ago · Explore the AMPK pathway and its role in cellular energy homeostasis. Uncover the mechanisms of energy regulation. Learn more here.

Eukaryotes have evolved a very sophisticated system to sense low cellular ATP levels via the serine/threonine kinase AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) complex. Under conditions of low …

AMPK signaling pathway, a fuel sensor and regulator, promotes ATP-producing and inhibits ATP-consuming pathways in various tissues. AMPK is a heterotrimer composed of alpha-catalytic and …

Apr 29, 2025 · Explore how the AMPK signaling pathway regulates cellular energy balance, integrates with other signals, and influences cell growth through diverse mechanisms.

Aug 21, 2025 · These studies not only reinforce AMPK as a promising drug target but also illuminate the necessity of disease- and tissue-specific contextualization in AMPK-directed therapies.

In C. elegans, the mechanism by which dietary restriction improves life span may involve many pathways, including the ability of AMP-activated protein kinase, or AMPK, to act as an energy …

AMPK Signaling, a fuel sensor and regulator, promotes ATP-producing and inhibits ATP-consuming pathways in various tissues.

Nitric oxide, peroxynitrite and superoxide anions activate AMPK via an Src mediated, PI3K dependent pathway. This in turn promotes mitogen stimulated AKT activation and angiogenesis.
