SAMS Peptide is a synthetic substrate selective for AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Its sequence is based on acetyl-CoA carboxylase, which is phosphorylated exclusively by the AMPK, but with serine (Ser)-79 replaced by alanine SAMS peptide is more specific for AMPK than acetyl-CoA carboxylase itself.
General description
SAMS Peptide trifluoroacetate salt is a peptide having a putative AMPK phosphorylation site (Ser568) of carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP) and a peptide containing a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) phosphorylation site (Thr666).
