| 1 | In its classical role as an intracellular metabolic stress-sensing kinase, AMPK switches on fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake in muscle, while switching off hepatic gluconeogenesis. | Fatty Acids | protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Understanding how these secreted signalling proteins regulate AMPK activity to control fatty acid oxidation, glucose uptake, gluconeogenesis and appetite may yield therapeutic treatments for metabolic disorders such as diabetes, insulin resistance and obesity. | Fatty Acids | protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 | Homo sapiens |
