AMPK Signaling Pathway
About us
AMPK plays pivotal roles in regulating growth and reprogramming metabolism, and has been observed to have some connection with cellular processes including autophagy and cell polarity. Furthermore, with a more complete list of AMPK substrates emerging, it is becoming clear that there is a convergence of AMPK signaling with other signaling or molecules, such as PI3K and Erk signaling, in growth control pathways, insulin and cAMP-dependent pathways in metabolic control. As more targets of AMPK are decoded, the challenge will be in defining more precisely which targets are essential and relevant for the beneficial effects of AMPK activation seen in pathological states ranging from diabetes to cancer to neurological disorders.
