Ampk β1 2

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology

AMPK-β1/2 is a protein subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) complex. AMPK is a cellular energy sensor that plays a crucial role in regulating cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis. The AMPK-β1/2 subunit is responsible for binding the AMPK catalytic subunits and regulatory subunits, thereby facilitating the assembly and activation of the AMPK complex.

Cells were grown to 70% confluency on poly-lysine coated cover slips. After treatment, immunofluorescent staining was performed following published procedures [5] (link). Antibody dilutions were: AMPK-α1 and AMPK-α2 (1:1000; Upstate 07-350; 07-363; or 1:2000; Bethyl A300-507A, A300-508A), AMPK-β1/2 (1:400; Cell Signaling ♯4150), AMPK-γ1 (1:200; Cell Signaling ♯4187), AMPK-γ2 (1:200; Cell Signaling ♯2536), HuR (1:2000; sc-5261), G3BP1 (1:1000; BD Biosciences ♯611126). In brief, cells were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS/2 mg/BSA and blocked for 1 h in PBS containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.05% Tween-20 and 1 mM NaN3. Samples were incubated overnight with primary antibodies diluted in PBS/FBS/Tween. Purified Alexa Fluor® 488, Alexa Fluor® 647 and Cy3 fluorescently-labeled secondary antibodies were added the following day for 2 h [6] (link). Nuclei were visualized with 1 µg/ml 4׳,6 Diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
