The protein encoded by PRKAB2 (protein kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit beta 2) is a regulatory subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).
AMPK is a heterotrimer consisting of an alpha catalytic subunit, and non-catalytic beta and gamma subunits.
AMPK is an important energy-sensing enzyme that monitors cellular energy status.
In response to cellular metabolic stresses, AMPK is activated, and thus phosphorylates and inactivates acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and beta-hydroxy beta-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), key enzymes involved in regulating de novo biosynthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol.
This subunit may be a positive regulator of AMPK activity.
It is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and thus may have tissue-specific roles.
Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for PRKAB2.
