• Sensitivity: < 0.229ng/mL
• Application: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for Antigen Detection.
• Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Alpha (GSK3a) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
• Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Alpha (GSK3a) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
• CV(%) =: SD/meanX100
• Intra-Assay: CV<10%
• Inter-Assay: CV<12%
• Preparation and Storage: The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.; To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Alpha (GSK3a). Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Alpha (GSK3a). Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Alpha (GSK3a), biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Alpha (GSK3a) in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a multifunctional Ser/Thr protein kinase that is implicated in the control of several regulatory proteins including glycogen synthase, and transcription factors, such as JUN. It also plays a role in the WNT and PI3K signaling pathways, as well as regulates the production of beta-amyloid peptides associated with Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Uniprot Description

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), CTNNB1/beta-catenin, APC and AXIN1. Requires primed phosphorylation of the majority of its substrates. Contributes to insulin regulation of glycogen synthesis by phosphorylating and inhibiting GYS1 activity and hence glycogen synthesis. Regulates glycogen metabolism in liver, but not in muscle. May also mediate the development of insulin resistance by regulating activation of transcription factors. In Wnt signaling, regulates the level and transcriptional activity of nuclear CTNNB1/beta-catenin. Facilitates amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and the generation of APP-derived amyloid plaques found in Alzheimer disease. May be involved in the regulation of replication in pancreatic beta-cells. Is necessary for the establishment of neuronal polarity and axon outgrowth. Through phosphorylation of the anti-apoptotic protein MCL1, may control cell apoptosis in response to growth factors deprivation.
