Recombinant Human AMPK (combination of A2/B1/G1 subunits), His-tagged

• Cat.No.: PRKAA2-105H
• Product Overview: Recombinant full-length human AMPK (combination of A2/B1/G1 subunits) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using a C-terminal His tag.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Sf9 Cells
• Tag: His
• Description: AMPK (A2/B1/G1) plays a key role in insulin signaling pathway and is a major therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetes. AMPK is viewed as a fuel sensor for glucose and lipid metabolism by modulating the activity of the autonomous nervous system in vivo. Short-term overexpression of a constitutively active form of AMPK in the liver leads to mild hypoglycemia and fatty liver due to increased fatty acid utilization.
• Form: Recombinant protein stored in 50mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.0, 300mM NaCl, 150mM imidazole, 0.1mM PMSF, 0.25mM DTT, 25% glycerol.
• Molecular Mass: ~69 kDa (A2), ~38kDa (B1), and ~40kDa (G1)
• Purity: >90% by densitometry
• Applications: Kinase Assay
• Storage: Store product at –70 centigrade. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
• Concentration: 0.1 μg/μl
