General description

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β (GSK3β) is one of the two isoforms of GSK3 enzyme, both of which are encoded by different genes. This protein is predominantly cytoplasmic, but is also found to be localized to nucleus and mitochondria. It is a protein-serine kinase. This protein contains a protein kinase domain in its core, and is composed of 482 amino acids with a molecular weight of 46,712Da. It shows a wide range of tissue expression with the highest expression in brain.
Human GSK3beta GenBank Accession No. NM_002093), full length with N-terminal GST-tag, MW=73 kDa, expressed in a Baculovirus infected Sf9 cell expression system.

Application

Useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β (GSK3β) is responsible for rapid cyclin D1 turnover by phosphorylating it on Thr-286. It functions as a negative regulator of Wnt signaling during embryonic development and cell proliferation in adult tissues. This protein phosphorylates and regulates multiple proteins such as glycogen synthase, insulin receptor substrate-1, axin and APC (adenomatous polyposis coli). This protein is also shown to interact with multiple protein which are linked with Alzheimer′s disease (AD).

Hyperphosphorylated tau protein is the major constituent of the paired helical filament (PHF), the major fibrous component of the neurofibrillary lesions of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hyperphosphorylation of tau is believed to be the critical event that leads to filament assembly.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK3beta) is a fascinating enzyme with an astoundingly diverse number of actions in intracellular signaling systems. GSK3beta activity is regulated by serine (inhibitory) and tyrosine (stimulatory) phosphorylation, by protein complex formation, and by its intracellular localization. GSK3beta

The beta-isoform of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3 beta) isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle was inactivated 90-95% following incubation with MgATP and either MAP kinase-activated protein kinase-1 (MAPKAP kinase-1, also termed RSK-2) or p70 S6 kinase (p70S6K), and re-activated with protein

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) is now recognized as a key component of a surprisingly large number of cellular processes and diseases. Several mechanisms play a part in controlling the actions of GSK3, including phosphorylation, protein complex formation, and subcellular distribution.

The activities of cyclin D-dependent kinases serve to integrate extracellular signaling during G1 phase with the cell-cycle engine that regulates DNA replication and mitosis. Induction of D-type cyclins and their assembly into holoenzyme complexes depend on mitogen stimulation. Conversely, the
