    compound that blocks the enzyme GSK-3, affecting cell processes

    A Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 Inhibitor (GSK-3 Inhibitor) is a type of compound that blocks the activity of the enzyme glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). This enzyme is involved in various cellular processes, including the regulation of glycogen metabolism, cell division, and signaling pathways. Inhibiting GSK-3 has potential therapeutic applications for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer, as well as promoting hair growth in cases of alopecia.
