The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the key energy sensor in response to various stresses that decrease cellular ATP levels, including low glucose, hypoxia, ischemia and heat shock. Recently, evidence has suggested that AMPK also plays critical roles in coupling the cellular bio-energetic state to various physiological processes, such as tumor suppression, cell polarity, life span, circadian clock, gene transcription and autophagy.
