Descripción

Amino acids 359-409 of human glycogen synthase kinase 3 β (GSKβ), a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase widely expressed in most mammalian cells. GSKβ is highly active under basal conditions and acts downstream of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling. PI3K activation results in Akt phosphorylation and the subsequent phosphorylation of GSKβ at serine-9 and its inactivation. GSKβ in turn activates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, IL-17, TNFalpha and IFNγ, and supresses the production of IL-10, IL-1Ra, and IFNβ by immune cells. Under resting conditions, GSKβ is constitutively active due to tyrosine-216 phosphorylation, and it phosphorylates and inhibits a diverse group of pro-oncogenic substrates, such as: β-catenin- cyclin D1- c-Jun- c-Myc and CREB. GSKβ is also involved in Wnt signalling pathways.Aberrant expression of GSKβ has been shown to promote cell growth in some cancers and to suppress it in others. GSKβ inhibition leads to the accumulation of β-catenin in the nucleus, enhancing the progression of many cancers. However the inhibition of GSKβ also induces apoptosis in various types of cancers, such as pancreatic, colorectal and bladder cancer. Inhibition of GSKβ can also have neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic neurons such as in Parkinson's disease.
