AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a heterotrimeric protein made up of a catalytic alpha subunit, and a regulatory beta and gamma subunit. There are two distinct genes for the alpha subunit, alpha1 and alpha2. AMPK alpha 2 is the serine/threonine kinase catalytic subunit of the AMPK. AMPK is responsible for regulating fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis.

This affinity-purified antibody reacts with human, mouse, rat and bovine AMPK alpha-2. The epitope recognized is in the region between aa 350 and 400 of AMPK alpha-2. Based on 100% sequence identity, this antibody is predicted to react with Mouse, Rabbit, Guinea pig, Pig, Orangutan, Rhesus Monkey, Gorilla, Chimpanzee, White- tufted-ear marmoset, Crab-eating macaque, African elephant, Chinese hamster, Naked mole rat and Northern white-cheeked gibbon.
