<p>The cloning and function of a new AMPK-related kinase, designated SNARK, are described. The kinase SNARK is involved in the stress response to glucose deprivation. Provided are the rodent and human genes encoding SNARK, and the SNARK protein and useful fragments, in isolated form. Also provided are SNARK expression systems and assays useful to identify SNARK substrates and SNARK activity modulators, and antibodies useful as SNARK modulators for instance in therapeutic applications to modulate the metabolism of glucose.</p> |
