Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-GSK-3alpha (Ser21) (46H12) Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of GSK-3alpha only when phosphorylated at serine 21.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser21 of human GSK-3alpha.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from NIH/3T3 cells, control and serum treated, using Phospho-GSK-3alpha (Ser21) (46H12) Mouse mAb (top), Phospho-GSK-3alpha/beta (Ser21/9) Antibody #9331 (middle) and GSK-3beta Antibody (bottom).
Background
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) was initially identified as an enzyme that regulates glycogen synthesis in response to insulin (1). GSK-3 is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates and inactivates glycogen synthase. GSK-3 is a critical downstream element of the PI3K/Akt cell survival pathway whose activity can be inhibited by Akt-mediated phosphorylation at Ser21 of GSK-3α and Ser9 of GSK-3β (2,3). GSK-3 has been implicated in the regulation of cell fate in Dictyostelium and is a component of the Wnt signaling pathway required for Drosophila, Xenopus, and mammalian development (4). GSK-3 has been shown to regulate cyclin D1 proteolysis and subcellular localization (5).
