Summary
Enables AMP-activated protein kinase activity; ATP binding activity; and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; fatty acid homeostasis; and positive regulation of glycolytic process. Located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Part of nucleotide-activated protein kinase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PRKAA2 (protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
