Application

GSM (GSK3 substrate peptide) has been used:
  • in in vitro glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3)-3β activity assay to measure the kinase activity of GSK-3
  • as a supplement in perfusates in kinase activity assay to determine the effect of the phosphatase-activating domain (PAD) peptide on squid axoplasm
  • as a control in Kinase-Glo luminescent kinase assay to measure the influence of ibuprofen treatment on the catalytic activity of the kinase GSK3β

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) is a protein kinase, which regulates glycogen metabolism. It regulates various cell functions, like signaling by insulin, growth factors and nutrients, and the specification of cell fates during embryonic development. GSK3 is involved modulating in apoptosis, cell division, and microtubule function.

Quality

Routinely evaluated as a substrate for GSK3β (Catalog # 14-306).

Physical form

1 mg of GSM lyophilized from 1 mL sterile, distilled water. Lyophilized powder.

Storage and Stability

Lyophilized: 2 years at -20°C. Rehydrated: 6 months at -20°C

Lithium inhibits (Li(+)) glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) by competition for magnesium (Mg(2+)), but not ATP or substrate. Here, we show that the group II metal ion beryllium (Be(2+)) is a potent inhibitor of GSK-3 and competes for both Mg(2+) and
