Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: GSK-3 alpha Antibody [NBP2-97994] - Immunofluorescence staining of GSK-3 alpha in U251MG cells. Cells were fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilzed with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS, blocked with 10% serum, and incubated with rabbit anti-Human GSK-3 alpha polyclonal antibody (dilution ratio 1:200) at 4C overnight. Then cells were stained with the Alexa Fluor(R)488-conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (green) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).Positive staining was localized to Cytoplasm.

Background: GSK-3 alpha

Glycogen synthases kinase 3 alpha (GSK3-alpha) is a multifunctional Serine/Threonine protein kinase, one of two isoforms of GSK3 (1). Originally identified as a regulator of glycogen synthase, it has been shown to be involved in the hormonal control of several regulatory factors and transcription factors. GSK3-alpha activity is down regulated by phosphorylation on Serine 21 by PKB, or activated by phosphorylation on Tyrosine 279 (2). Insulin inactivates GSK3-alpha by rapid phosphorylation which leads to activation of Glycogen Synthase in the cells (3). GSK3-alpha activitiy has been linked to a pathogenic mechanism in Alzheimer's disease (4).
