Whole cell extracts (15 µg total protein) from serum-starved HEK293 cells treated with (+) or without (-) 5.0 µM oligomycin for 30 minutes (+) were resolved by 4-12% Bis-Tris gel electrophoresis, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and probed with 1.0 μg/mL (1:500 dilution) purified anti-AMPKα Phospho (Thr172) antibody (clone A20017A) for 2 hours at room temperature. Proteins were visualized by chemiluminescence detection using HRP goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (Cat. No. 405306) at a 1:3000 dilution. Western-Ready™ ECL Substrate Premium Kit (Cat. No. 426319) was used as a detection agent. Direct-Blot™ HRP anti-β-actin Antibody (Cat. No. 643808) was used as a loading control at a 1:10000 dilution (lower). Lane M: Molecular weight marker

    Serum-starved untreated HEK293 cells (negative control, panel A) and HEK293 cells treated with 5.0 µM oligomycin for 30 minutes (positive control, panel B) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with Triton X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% FBS for 60 minutes. Cells were then intracellularly stained with purified anti-AMPKα Phospho (Thr172) antibody (clone A20017A) overnight at 4°C followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 594 goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405326) at 5.0 µg/mL. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and the images were captured with a 60X objective.

Description

AMP-activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKα) is one subunit of the αβγ heterotrimeric protein complex AMPK. It is a key regulator of metabolism and energy homeostasis in eukaryotes through induction of catabolic pathways and deactivation of anabolic. As an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway, AMPKα is involved in the regulation of cellular growth, cell cycle progression, autophagy, and may play dual roles as both tumor suppressor and promotor. AMPKα is activated via phosphorylation of Threonine residue 172 (Thr172) within the activation loop of the α subunit and is promoted by the allosteric binding of AMP and/or ADP to AMPK’s γ subunit. This phosphorylation is mediated by the serine/threonine kinase liver kinase B1 (LKB1) in conjunction with accessory subunits STRAD and MO25 and also by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK2 aka CAMKKβ). Activation is induced by increases in cellular AMP:ATP and ADP:ATP ratios  following a decline in ATP levels as well as by cellular stress, DNA damage, glucose starvation, and fluxes in calcium and nutrient levels. Localization of AMPKα Thr172 at the spindle poles suggests a novel role for AMPK in mitotic spindle orientation. AMPKα is a key therapeutic target in the treatment of metabolic disorders and an emerging potential treatment target for cancer.

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.125 - 1.0 µg/mL. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration of 5.0 μg/mL is recommended. For flow cytometric staining using our True-Phos™ Perm Buffer, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.5 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 1 - 10 µg/mL is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Application Notes

This clone was tested for ICC using serum-starved untreated HEK293 cells (negative control) and HEK293 cells treated with 5.0 µM oligomycin for 30 minutes (positive control). Staining was expected to localize to the nucleus and cytoplasm. Three fix/perm methods were used: methanol fixation or 4% PFA fixation followed by permeabilization with either methanol or Triton X-100.  Both PFA fixation followed by methanol permeabilization and PFA fixation followed by Triton X-100 permeabilization produced a strong signal with the expected localization. Methanol-only fixation only produced a faint signal.
