Journal ArticleDOI
Location and function of three sites phosphorylated on rat acetyl-CoA carboxylase by the AMP-activated protein kinase
TL;DR: The results suggest that the effects of the AMP-activated protein kinase on acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity are mediated entirely by phosphorylation of Ser79, and not Ser1200 and Ser1215, as previously suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
The AMP-activated protein kinase: a multisubstrate regulator of lipid metabolism
TL;DR: It is proposed that the AMP-activated protein kinase system plays an important role in regulating the levels of cholesterol and fatty acids in the body.
Journal ArticleDOI
The low activity of acetyl-CoA car☐ylase in basal and glucagon-stimulated hepatocytes is due to phosphorylation by the AMP-activated protein kinase and not cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase

TL;DR: Sequencing of two peptides purified from isolated hepatocytes shows that the low activity of acetyl‐CoA car☐ylase is due to phosphorylation by the AMP‐activated protein kinase, and not cyclic AMP-dependent protein Kinase, even after glucagon treatment.
