Product Details anti-GSK3 alpha Antibody

Binding Specificity: pSer21

Specificity: GSK3alpha (phospho-Ser21) antibody detects endogenous levels of GSK3alpha only when phosphorylated at serine 21.

Purification: Immunoaffinity chromatography

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human GSK3alpha around the phosphorylation site of serine 21 (T-S-SP-F-A).

Target Details for GSK3 alpha

Target: GSK3 alpha (GSK3a) (Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 alpha (GSK3a))

Alternative Name: GSK3 alpha

Background: Glycogen synthase kinase 3 alpha belongs to the Ser/Thr family of protein kinases, Cdc2/cdkx subfamily, GSK3 subsubfamily. It is implicated in the hormonal control of several regulatory proteins including glycogen synthase, myb, and the transcription factor c jun. GSK3 phosphorylates glycogen synthase and thereby inactivates it. Insulin stimulates the dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase at the sites phosphorylated by GSK3 and subsequently inhibits GSK3 acutely leading to the stimulation of glycogen synthesis. GSK3 signaling is performed by two isoforms, GSK3 alpha and GSK3 beta. The two isoforms share 97 % sequence similarity within their catalytic domains. GSK3 has also been shown to play a role in protein synthesis, cell adhesion, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, microtubule dynamics and cell motility.Synonyms: Factor A, GSK-3 alpha, GSK3A, Glycogen synthase kinase-3 alpha
