Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) has been implicated in fundamental cell processes such as cell fate determination, metabolism, transcriptional control, and oncogenesis. Two GSK-3 genes (α and β) have been cloned in mammals and these kinase homologues show strong sequence conservation within their catalytic domain. GSK-3β plays a critical role in cell survival by phosphorylating nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 subunit, leading to NF-κB transactivation in hepatocytes. Phosphorylation regulates the activity of both GSK-3 genes. MEK1/2 can phosphorylate tyrosine 216 (tyrosine 279 in GSK-3α), which stimulates GSK-3 kinase activity. Tyr-216 phosphorylation is required for GSK-mediated down-regulation of β-catenin activity. Also, TRAIL stimulation can increase Tyr-216 phosphorylation, and GSK-3β activity may suppress TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Inactiviation of GSK-3 occurs through Akt phosphorylation of serine 9 of GSK-3β (Serine 21 in GSK-3α). This phosphorylation may be involved in later phases of neuronal apoptosis.

Western blot analysis of a human recombinant GSK3β N-terminal fragment (lanes 1 & 2) and endogenous GSK3β expressed in mouse brain (lanes 3 & 4). The blot was probed with mouse monoclonal anti-GSK-3β at 1:500 (lanes 1 & 3) and 1:2000 (lanes 2 & 4).
Immunocytochemical labeling of GSK3β in aldehyde-fixed and NP-40 permeabilized human NCI-H1915 lung carcinoma cells. The cells were labeled with mouse monoclonal anti-GSK3β (GM1311) antibody. The antibody was detected using appropriate secondary antibody conjugated to DyLight® 594.
