  • AMPK regulates autophagic turnover of dysfunctional mitochondria by initiating mitophagy through phosphorylation and activation of ULK1.

    “AMPK is believed to regulate the autophagic turnover of dysfunctional mitochondria through initiation of mitophagy by phosphorylation and activation of the pro-mitophagic factor UNC51-like kinase 1 (ULK1)42.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
