Go to external page http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C116019


A family comprised of two proteins that can each act as the catalytic alpha subunit for the 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) complex. The AMPK complex is involved in the regulation of glucose uptake, the oxidation of fatty acids and mitochondrial biogenesis through the phosphorylation of metabolic enzymes and transcription regulatory proteins.
