Summary Introduction

To explain: The way by which phosphofructokinase-2 activation by AMPK contributes to the antidiabetic effect of stimulating AMPK activity.

Concept introduction: AMPK is an AMP-dependent protein kinase, which is a major regulator of metabolic homeostasis. AMPK activates the metabolic breakdown pathways that generate ATP and inhibits the biosynthetic pathway to conserve ATP for more vital processes. AMPK is a αβγ heterotrimer that is found in all the eukaryotic organisms.
