| Wnt signaling | GSK3B is a key component of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, where it phosphorylates β-catenin targeting it for degradation<sup>[2]</sup> |
| Glycogen metabolism | Originally identified as a regulator of glycogen synthase, hence its name |
| Synaptic plasticity | GSK3B regulates NMDA receptor trafficking, AMPA receptor internalization, and long-term potentiation (LTP)<sup>[3]</sup> |
| Associated Diseases | ALS, ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, APOPTOSIS, Aging, Alzheimer |
