Funded Activity Summary

How organisms coordinate energy supply and demand. The metabolic stress sensing protein kinase called the AMP activated protein kinase controls metabolism of all eukaryotes to meet the needs of energy demand and nutrient supply. It is responsible for accelerating metabolism (glucose transport, glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation) in response to energy demand and with caloric restriction it regulates gene transcription to adapt to energy supply. This project is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the AMP activated protein kinase (enzyme isoforms, genes, physiological roles and regulation). This knowledge will have major benefits in biopharmaceutical development, the livestock, plant and sport/racing industries.
