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 |
|
may play a role in the regulation of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle |
|
has a broad role in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism making it a promising target in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus |
