Function:AMPK is responsible for the regulation of fatty acid synthesis by phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Also regulates cholesterol synthesis via phosphorylation and inactivation of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase and hormone-sensitive lipase. This is a regulatory subunit , may be a positive regulator of AMPK activity. It may also serve as an adaptor molecule for the catalytic alpha-subunit. ,PTM:Phosphorylated. ,similarity:Belongs to the 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase beta subunit family. ,subunit:Heterotrimer of an alpha catalytic subunit , a beta and a gamma non-catalytic regulatory subunits. Interacts with FNIP1 and FNIP2. ,
