Revvity HTRF Human & Mouse Total AMPK Detection Kit, 10,000 Assay Points

5 AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is considered the metabolic master switch. AMPK is activated by phosphorylation on Thr172 by CaMKK2 and LKB1, among others. Upon activation, it inhibits synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol, and triglycerides, and activates fatty acid uptake and ß-oxidation as well as stimulating glucose uptake. AMPK is also involved in autophagy activation through direct phosphorylation of ULK1. Revvitys cell-based homogeneous HTRF kit for total AMPK enables the detection of the AMPK expression level, and is used as a normalization assay with our phospho-AMPK (Thr172) kit.
