Abstract excerpt
Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is a multifunctional serine/threonine protein kinase that is involved in several biological processes including insulin and Wnt signaling pathways. GSK3β can be phosphorylated by the protein kinase B (PKB). The mutations of Arg4 and Arg6 to alanine at N-terminal GSK3β have been reported to impair its ability to autophosphorylate at Ser9. Despite the extensive experimental...
