FAMILY

5'-AMP-activated protein kinase gamma subunit family

CATEGORY

regulatory

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleoplasm

basic FUNCTION	being responsible for the regulation of fatty acid synthesis by phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase
	regulating cholesterol synthesis via phosphorylation and inactivation of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase and hormone-sensitive lipase
	involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease
	stimulates energy production via glucose and lipid metabolism, whereas it inhibits energy consuming functions, such as protein and cholesterol synthesis
