Total ampk

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

Total AMPK is a laboratory assay kit that measures the total amount of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in cellular samples. AMPK is a critical energy sensor that regulates cellular metabolism in response to changes in the AMP/ATP ratio. The Total AMPK assay provides a quantitative determination of AMPK levels, which is useful for studying AMPK signaling pathways.

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.
