Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat GSK-3 alpha/ beta Antibody

Detection of Human GSK-3a/ beta antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human GSK‑3 alpha/ beta by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line, HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.1 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/ Rat GSK-3a/ beta Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2157) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF008). Specific bands were detected for GSK-3a/ beta at approximately 46 and 51 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
GSK-3a/ beta antibody in HeLa Human Cell Line by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

GSK‑3 alpha/ beta in HeLa Human Cell Line.

GSK-3a/ beta was detected in immersion fixed HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line using Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat GSK-3a/ beta Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2157) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL004) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

Detection of GSK‑3 alpha/ beta in HeLa Human Cell Line by Flow Cytometry.

HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line was stained with Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat GSK-3a/ beta Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2157, filled histogram) or control antibody (Catalog # AB-105-C, open histogram), followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0111). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with saponin.

Background: GSK-3 alpha/beta

GSK-3 is a Ser/Thr kinase first identified as an inactivator of Glycogen Synthase. GSK-3 acts as a multifunctional downstream switch that determines the output of numerous signaling pathways. There are two mammalian GSK-3 isoforms encoded by distinct genes, GSK-3 alpha and GSK-3 beta, which are structurally similar, but functionally non-identical. GSK-3a is inhibited by phosphorylation at S21 by Akt and other kinases. GSK-3 alpha and GSK-3 beta share 85% amino acid identity. Dysregulated GSK-3 has been implicated in several diseases including type II diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, bipolar disorder, and cancer.

Long Name
