Abstract
AMPK is a crucial sensor of the cellular energetic state and is also activated during glucose starvation. A new study reports that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is activated by interaction with long-chain fatty acyl–CoA esters, which appear to be the long-sought endogenous AMPK ligands that bind the allosteric drug and metabolite (ADaM) site.
