AMPK (alpha2, beta1, gamma1), active

Background Information:

AMPK (α2, β1, γ1) is a metabolic master switch, activated by exercise and muscle contraction. AMPK phosphorylate key target proteins that control glucose uptake, oxidation of fatty acids, cholesterol synthesis, lipogenesis, triglyceride synthesis, adipocyte lipolysis, glycolysis and nitric oxide synthesis.
