The protein encoded by this gene 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 is one of the gamma regulatory subunits of AMPK. It is
dominantly expressed in skeletal muscle. Studies of the pig
counterpart suggest that this subunit may play a key role in the
regulation of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle. [provided by
