GlossaryGlycogen Synthase Kinase 3

enzyme involved in regulating cell functions and signaling pathways

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK-3) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including the regulation of glycogen synthesis, cell division, and cell survival. It is involved in multiple signaling pathways and can influence conditions like diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and even hair growth by affecting cellular functions and gene expression.
