https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_isoform

AMPK have different subunits in different cells.
In human skeletal muscle, the preferred form is α2β2γ1, But in the human liver, the most abundant form is α1β2γ1.
So even when subunit composition and thereby massive conformational differences is seen, its still the same protein :)
