Application
The GSK-3β Activity Assay Kit offers an easy, convenient, and sensitive assay of GSK-3β activity. It provides a means to examine the biological role of the GSK-3β signaling cascade and to explore new GSK-3β signaling stimuli, inhibitors, and activators. The assay is based on immunoprecipitation of GSK-3β using a specific anti-GSK-3β antibody. The immunoprecipitated kinase is incubated with γ−32P-ATP and the incorporation of 32P into the substrate is measured.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase found in all eukaryotes. This enzyme is a key regulator of numerous signaling pathways and is involved in a wide range of cellular processes, ranging from glycogen metabolism to cell cycle regulation and proliferation. GSK-3 is normally active in cells and is primarily regulated through inhibition of its activity.
GSK-3 is emerging as a prominent drug target. In Alzheimer′s disease, an abnormal increase in GSK-3 levels and activity has been associated with neuronal death, paired helical filament Tau formation, and neurite retraction, as well as a decline in cognitive performance. Abnormal activity of GSK-3 is also implicated in stroke patients. Several GSK-3 inhibitors show effectiveness in normalizing blood glucose levels in animal models of type 2 diabetes. These findings have prompted efforts to develop GSK-3 inhibitors as drugs.

It was hypothesized that lithium causes accelerated and permanent injury to the postnatally developing kidney through entry into epithelial cells of the distal nephron and inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β). GSK-3β immunoreactivity was associated with glomeruli, the thick ascending

Recent studies suggest that autophagy is highly involved in insulin resistance (IR). Inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway induces autophagy activation. Additionally, depletion of LRP6 has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity but its mechanism is still not clear. We

As per the classical view of the coagulation system, it functions solely in plasma to maintain hemostasis. An experimental approach modeling vascular reconstitution was used to show that vascular endothelial cells (ECs) endogenously synthesize coagulation factors during angiogenesis.
