Abstract excerpt
Glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK 3beta) is a key component of several cellular processes including Wnt and insulin signalling pathways. The interaction of GSK3beta with scaffolding peptide axin is thought to be responsible for the effective phosphorylation of beta-catenin, the core effector of Wnt signaling, which has been linked with the occurrence of colon cancer and melanoma. It has been demonstrated that...
