Gene Information

human ... GSK3B(2932)

General description

Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is a serine-threonine kinase that is present in most eukaryotes. The GSK3β gene is located on the human chromosome at 3q13.3. GSK3β is made up of an N-terminal β-sheet domain that is coupled to the C-terminal α-helical domain.

Research area: Cell Signaling

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) regulates glycogen metabolism via an insulin-dependent pathway. It participates in many signaling pathways including cellular processes such as cell cycle, cell proliferation, and inflammation. GSK3β mediated-negative regulation of insulin signaling pathway leads to type 2 diabetes. GSK3β functions as a tumor suppressor that represses neoplastic transformation in cells. It is an essential regulator of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Abnormal regulation of GSK3β is associated with cardiovascular disease, bipolar disorder, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta), a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase found in all eukaryotes, had been initially identified as a key regulator of insulin-dependent glycogen synthesis. It is now known that GSK3beta functions in diverse cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, motility
