A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of PRKAA1 antibody, Alternative Names: PRKAA1 control peptide, PRKAA1 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-PRKAA1 Blocking Peptide, Protein Kinase Amp-Activated Alpha 1 Catalytic Subunit Blocking Peptide, AMPK Blocking Peptide, AMPKa1 Blocking Peptide, MGC33776 Blocking Peptide, MGC57364 Blocking Peptide
PRKAA1 belongs to the ser/thr protein kinase family. It is the catalytic subunit of the 5'-prime-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a cellular energy sensor conserved in all eukaryotic cells. The kinase activity of AMPK is activated by the stimuli that increase the cellular AMP/ATP ratio. AMPK regulates the activities of a number of key metabolic enzymes through phosphorylation. It protects cells from stresses that cause ATP depletion by switching off ATP-consuming biosynthetic pathways.
