(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2932
Official gene symbolGSK3B
Full nameglycogen synthase kinase 3 beta
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a serine-threonine kinase, belonging to the glycogen synthase kinase subfamily. It is involved in energy metabolism, neuronal cell development, and body pattern formation. Polymorphisms in this gene have been implicated in modifying risk of Parkinson disease, and studies in mice show that overexpression of this gene may be relevant to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
