Entrez ID 5563
Gene name Protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2
Gene symbol PRKAA2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AMPKAMPK2AMPKa2PRKAA
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p32.2
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a catalytic 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
