Our pre-screened Human Skeletal Muscle Cells (HSkMC) are isolated from the skeletal muscle of hamstrings and retain morphological, biochemical, and metabolic characteristics of skeletal muscle. Pre-screened HSkMCs can undergo differentiation to exhibit actin and myosin myofilaments and are specially tested for functional AMPK and Insulin Signaling Pathways.

1. AMPK Signaling Pathway
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a major cellular regulator of lipid and glucose metabolism and mediates the metabolic changes associated with exercise. AMPK phosphorylates and inhibits activity of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), the enzyme responsible for making malonyl-CoA which is required for fatty acid chain elongation.

2. Insulin Signaling Pathway
Skeletal muscle is one of major target tissue of insulin action. Upon insulin binding, insulin receptor tyrosine kinases catalyze autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues providing docking sites for downstream signaling components, such as IRS-1 and Grb2, which relay the signaling further into the cell (see Fig.B).
