R225Q | gain-of-function mutation, overexpression of the AMPK gamma3 subunit mutant increases mitochondrial biogenesis in glycolytic skeletal muscle, which is associated with an increase in expression of the co-activator PGC-1alpha and several transcription factors that regulate mitochondrial biogenesis, including NRF-1, NRF-2, and TFAM. Succinate dehydrogenase is also increased in transversal skeletal muscle sections of white gastrocnemius muscle, independent of changes in fiber type composition | Mus musculus |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

physiological function | overexpression or ablation of the AMPK gamma3 subunit does not appear to play a critical role in defining mitochondrial content in resting skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial content is unaltered in AMPK gamma3-/- mice | Mus musculus |
