GSK3 beta Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody - BSA and Azide free [SY28-03] (HA750131)

UNIPROT #

P49841

PROTEIN NAME

GSK3 beta

SYNONYMS

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Beta antibody;Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta antibody;GSK 3 beta antibody;GSK-3 beta antibody;GSK3B antibody;GSK3B_HUMAN antibody;GSK3beta isoform antibody;Serine/threonine-protein kinase GSK3B antibody

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. GSK-3 subfamily.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY

Expressed in testis, thymus, prostate and ovary and weakly expressed in lung, brain and kidney. Colocalizes with EIF2AK2/PKR and TAU in the Alzheimer disease (AD) brain.

POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION

Phosphorylated by AKT1 and ILK1. Upon insulin-mediated signaling, the activated PKB/AKT1 protein kinase phosphorylates and desactivates GSK3B, resulting in the dephosphorylation and activation of GYS1. Activated by phosphorylation at Tyr-216. Inactivated by phosphorylation at Ser-9 (Probable). Phosphorylated in a circadian manner in the hippocampus (By similarity).; Mono-ADP-ribosylation by PARP10 negatively regulates kinase activity.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION

Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Cell membrane.

FUNCTION

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta, also known as GSK3B, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSK3B gene. Abnormal regulation and expression of GSK3β is associated with an increased susceptibility towards bipolar disorder. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a proline-directed serine-threonine kinase that was initially identified as a phosphorylating and an inactivating agent of glycogen synthase. Two isoforms, alpha (GSK3A) and beta, show a high degree of amino acid homology. GSK3B is involved in energy metabolism, neuronal cell development, and body pattern formation. It might be a new therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.
