Fig. 2: Schematic summarizing the indirect regulation of AMPK in the liver by miRs via the regulation of activators and repressors of AMPK.
From: MicroRNA regulation of AMPK in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

LKB1 and CaMKK2 are known upstream kinases of AMPK, activating AMPK via Thr-172 phosphorylation (p) in the α subunit. Red arrows indicate activation, and black blunt arrows indicate inhibition.
