| Background: | Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is a non-receptor serine/threonine kinase that plays an important role in the regulation of cell fate, tumorignenesis, and neuronal plasticity. GSK-3 is present in 2 isoforms, α (51kDa) and β (47kDa). GSK-3α can be activated by phosphorylation of tyrosine 279 (tyrosine 216 of GSK-3β) of the kinase activation loop by focal adhesion kinase (FAK) or proline-rich/Ca2+-activated tyrosine kinase (Pyk2), inhibiting glycogen synthesis which induces apoptosis. GSK-3β also hyperphosphorylates Tau, a microtubule binding protein, which results in a paired helical formation. This formation is used as a marker in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease. |
