Human AMPK beta 2 ELISA Kit (HUFI04648)

AMPK beta 2 (gene symbol PRKAB2, UniProt accession O43741, ~30 kDa) is the scaffolding subunit of the heterotrimeric AMP-activated protein kinase complex, the principal cellular energy sensor that responds to rising AMP/ATP ratios by switching on catabolic ATP-generating pathways and switching off anabolic biosynthesis.

This Assay Genie ELISA supports quantitative detection in research focused on metabolic regulation, including insulin sensitivity, glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and autophagy. Applications extend to studies of type 2 diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cardiovascular remodeling, and tumor metabolism, where AMPK activity influences cancer cell survival under nutrient stress.

The kit is supplied as a complete microplate-based research use only immunoassay, with all buffers and detection components included for measuring AMPK beta 2 protein in human specimens. Results can be used to correlate subunit expression with downstream phosphorylation of ACC and to profile energy-sensing pathway activity in patient-derived cohorts.
