GSK3A, Official Symbol GSK3Aprovided by HGNC Official Full Name glycogen synthase kinase 3 alphaprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:4616 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000105723 MIM:606784; AllianceGenome:HGNC:4616 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status VALIDATED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Summary This gene encodes a multifunctional Ser/Thr protein kinase that is implicated in the control of several regulatory proteins including glycogen synthase, and transcription factors, such as JUN. It also plays a role in the WNT and PI3K signaling pathways, as well as regulates the production of beta-amyloid peptides associated with Alzheimer's disease.
