abstract：:The glucagon-like peptide 1 (7-37)/(7-36) amide (GLP-1) receptor belongs to a new subclass of seven transmembrane domain, G-protein coupled receptors comprising several receptors for peptide hormones. The receptors of this family share many common motifs including a relatively large N-terminal extracellular domain. Th...

abstract：:The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the central component of a protein kinase cascade that plays a major role in energy sensing. AMPK is activated pharmacologically by 5-amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide (AICA) riboside monophosphate (ZMP), which mimics the effects of AMP on the AMPK cascade. Here we show that uptak...
