Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionaak-2 encodes one of two C. elegans homologs of the catalytic alpha subunit of AMP-activated protein kinases (AMPKs); in C. elegans, aak-2 functions downstream of environmental stressors, energy level signals (AMP:ATP ratio), and daf-2-mediated insulin signaling to positively regulate adult lifespan; in regulating lifespan, aak-2 likely acts in parallel with daf-16/FOXO; aak-2 activity is also required for dauer formation in daf-2 mutant animals at high temperature in a manner independent of the AMP:ATP ratio; in the germline, aak-2 functions downstream of daf-2 and daf-7, and in parallel to par-4 and aak-1, to negatively regulate germline proliferation during dauer development; in vitro, AAK-2 exhibits AMP-enhanced kinase activity against a known AMPK substrate, the SAMS peptide.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00024886

Automated_descriptionEnables AMP-activated protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; pharyngeal pumping; and regulation of protein secretion. Located in axon; cytoplasm; and neuronal cell body. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; excretory canal; interfacial epithelial cell; neurons; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Huntington's disease; colon cancer; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Is an ortholog of human PRKAA1 (protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 1) and PRKAA2 (protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
