| Targets |
SAMS targets AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key energy-sensing enzyme that plays a central role in cellular energy homeostasis. AMPK is activated in response to increases in cellular AMP/ATP ratio and phosphorylates downstream targets to regulate metabolism. The SAMS peptide is a specific substrate for AMPK based on the sequence around Ser79 on acetyl-CoA carboxylase, which is phosphorylated exclusively by AMPK. The peptide is not phosphorylated by any of five other protein kinases tested, demonstrating its specificity for AMPK. By serving as a substrate for AMPK, SAMS enables the measurement of AMPK activity in vitro.

| ln Vitro |
SAMS peptide is a particular substrate of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). The SAMS peptide was not phosphorylated by any of the five other pure protein kinases examined [1].
SAMS demonstrates potent in vitro activity as a specific substrate for AMPK. The peptide is based on the sequence around Ser79 on acetyl-CoA carboxylase, which is phosphorylated exclusively by AMPK. The SAMS peptide is not phosphorylated by any of five other protein kinases tested, demonstrating its specificity for AMPK. The peptide is more selective for AMPK than acetyl-CoA carboxylase itself and provides a convenient and sensitive assay for AMPK activity. The peptide contains a putative AMPK phosphorylation site (Ser568) of ChREBP and a PKA phosphorylation site (Thr666). Its activity is characterized by its ability to be phosphorylated by AMPK in kinase assays. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of SAMS is not applicable, as the peptide is used as a substrate for in vitro kinase assays rather than as a therapeutic agent. The peptide is not administered to animals for efficacy studies. Its primary use is in biochemical assays to measure AMPK activity in cell lysates or purified enzyme preparations. The peptide's specificity for AMPK makes it a valuable tool for studying AMPK function in various biological contexts.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro kinase assays for SAMS involve measuring the phosphorylation of the peptide by AMPK. The assay typically uses recombinant AMPK or immunoprecipitated AMPK from cell lysates, incubated with the SAMS peptide, ATP (often with [gamma-32P]-ATP for radioactive detection), and appropriate buffer conditions. The phosphorylated peptide is separated from unreacted ATP by spotting onto P81 phosphocellulose paper or by using a filter-binding assay, and radioactivity is measured by liquid scintillation counting. Alternatively, non-radioactive methods using phospho-specific antibodies or mass spectrometry can be used. The peptide's specificity for AMPK is confirmed by testing against other kinases. The assay provides a convenient and sensitive method for measuring AMPK activity.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays using SAMS are typically performed to measure AMPK activity in cell lysates. Cells are treated with compounds that activate or inhibit AMPK, and lysates are prepared. The SAMS peptide is added to the lysates along with ATP, and AMPK activity is measured by quantifying phosphorylation of the peptide. This allows for the assessment of AMPK activity under various experimental conditions. The peptide's specificity for AMPK ensures that the measured activity reflects AMPK activity rather than other kinases. Cytotoxicity is not applicable for this substrate peptide. Results are expressed as AMPK activity (pmol phosphate incorporated per minute per mg protein) or as fold-change relative to control samples.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies are not applicable for SAMS, as the peptide is used as a substrate for in vitro kinase assays rather than as a therapeutic agent. The peptide is not administered to animals for efficacy studies. Its primary use is in biochemical assays to measure AMPK activity in tissue lysates from animal models.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicology of SAMS is not applicable, as the peptide is used as a substrate for in vitro kinase assays rather than as a therapeutic agent. The peptide is not intended for in vivo administration. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling peptides should be followed. Comprehensive toxicological characterization has not been reported, as the compound is not intended for human use. SAMS is strictly intended for research purposes as a biochemical tool.
