GSK3A and GSK3B are protein Ser/Thr kinases that are involved in the regulation of glycogen synthesis. GSK3B (GSK-3β) has been associated with the pathogenesis and progression of diseases including obesity, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's, and as a result pharmacological inhibition of this enzyme is an attractive therapeutic mechanism.
