PRKAB2

5'-AMP-activated protein kinase subunit beta-2 is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PRKAB2 is_associated_with::gene.

Related gene problems

 * is_associated_with::1q21.1 deletion syndrome
 * is_associated_with::1q21.1 duplication syndrome

Interactions
PRKAB2 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::PRKAG2 and is_associated_with::PRKAG1.

Research on the genes is_associated_with::CHD1L and PRKAB2 within is_associated_with::lymphoblast cells lead to the conclusion that anomalies appear with the is_associated_with::1q21.1-deletionsyndrome:
 * is_associated_with::CHD1L is an enzyme which is involved in untangling the is_associated_with::chromatides and the DNA repair system. With 1q21.1 deletion syndrome a disturbance occurs, which leads to increased DNA breaks. The role of CHD1L is similar to that of is_associated_with::helicase with the is_associated_with::Werner syndrome
 * PRKAB2 is involved in maintaining the energy level of cells. With 1q21.1-deletion syndrome this function was attenuated.
