The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a crucial cellular energy sensor that regulates metabolic homeostasis by responding to fluctuations in energy status. It exists as a heterotrimeric complex comprising a catalytic α subunit (α1 or α2) and regulatory β and γ subunits. AMPKα1 (encoded by PRKAA1) and AMPKα2 (PRKAA2) share structural homology but exhibit tissue-specific expression patterns, with α1 being ubiquitously expressed and α2 predominant in skeletal muscle, liver, and heart. Activation occurs through phosphorylation at Thr172 (α subunit) by upstream kinases like LKB1 or CaMKKβ, particularly under energy-deprived conditions.
The AMPKα1/AMPKα2 (Ab-183/172) antibody specifically detects endogenous levels of AMPKα1 and α2 subunits when phosphorylated at critical residues. The "Ab-183" designation typically refers to recognition of a conserved phospho-epitope (often at Ser173/Ser177 in α1/α2. respectively), while "Ab-172" indicates detection of the essential Thr172 phosphorylation required for kinase activation. This dual-specificity antibody enables researchers to study AMPK activation status across various biological contexts without distinguishing between α isoforms.
Widely used in techniques like Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, this antibody facilitates investigations into metabolic disorders, cancer, and aging. It helps elucidate AMPK's role in glucose/lipid metabolism, autophagy, and cellular stress responses. Proper controls, including knockout validation and phosphatase treatment, are recommended to confirm signal specificity due to potential cross-reactivity with other kinases sharing similar phosphorylation motifs.
