Testing Data
(HTRF assay for GSK3b activity 1 uM STK S3 substrate was incubated with different concentrations of GSK3b protein in a 10 ul reaction system containing 1×Enzymatic Buffer, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT and 100 uM ATP for 1 hour. The detection reagents were added and incubated with the reactions for 1 hr. All the operations and reactions were performed at room temperature, and HTRF KinASE STK assay was used to detect the enzymatic activity.)

Background: GSK3b (Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Beta), is a serine-threonine kinase belonging to the glycogen synthase kinase subfamily. It is a negative regulator of glucose homeostasis and is involved in energy metabolism, inflammation, ER-stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptotic pathways. Defects in this gene have been associated with Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease. GSK3b a constitutively active protein kinase that acts as a negative regulator in the hormonal control of glucose homeostasis, Wnt signaling and regulation of transcription factors and microtubules, by phosphorylating and inactivating glycogen synthase (GYS1 or GYS2), EIF2B, CTNNB1/beta-catenin, APC, AXIN1, DPYSL2/CRMP2, JUN, NFATC1/ NFATC, MAPT/TAU and MACF1. It contributes to insulin regulation of glycogen synthesis by phosphorylating and inhibiting GYS1 activity and hence glycogen synthesis. And it may also mediate the development of insulin resistance by regulating activation of transcription factors. GSK3b can regulate protein synthesis by controlling the activity of initiation factor 2B (EIF2BE/EIF2B5) in the same manner as glycogen synthase. In Wnt signaling, GSK3b forms a multimeric complex with APC, AXIN1 and CTNNB1/beta-catenin and phosphorylates the N-terminus of CTNNB1 leading to its degradation mediated by ubiquitin/proteasomes. In addition, it can negatively regulate replication in pancreatic beta-cells, resulting in apoptosis, loss of beta-cells and diabetes. Through phosphorylation of the anti-apoptotic protein MCL1, GSK3b may control cell apoptosis in response to growth factors deprivation. It regulates the circadian clock via phosphorylation of the major clock components including ARNTL/BMAL1, CLOCK and PER2, which might promote their degradation.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a serine-threonine kinase, belonging to the glycogen synthase kinase subfamily. It is involved in energy metabolism, neuronal cell development, and body pattern formation. Polymorphisms in this gene have been implicated in modifying risk of Parkinson disease, and studies in mice show that overexpression of this gene may be relevant to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Product Notes
The GSK3b gsk3b (Catalog #AAA389249) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Baculovirus and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GSK3b, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
