AMPK is an important energy-sensing enzyme that monitors cellular energy status and functions by inactivating key enzymes involved in regulating de novo biosynthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol.

This gene is a member of the AMPK gamma subunit family and encodes a protein with four CBS domains.

Mutations in this gene have been associated with ventricular pre-excitation (Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome), progressive conduction system disease and cardiac hypertrophy.

Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
