QUICK LINKS

GSK-3β Inhibitor VII is a phenyl α-bromomethyl ketone compound which acts as a cell-permeable, and non-ATP competitive inhibitor of GSK-3β (IC = 0.5 μM). This compound acts as an alkylating agent that is selective towards GSK-3β and does not affect PKA activity even at concentrations as high as 100 μM. Research has shown that glycogen synthase kinases have major roles in Wnt and Hedgehog signaling pathways and regulate the cell-division cycle, stem-cell renewal and differentiation, apoptosis, circadian rhythm, transcription and insulin action. This pertinent biological activity makes GSK inhibitors very useful research molecules.
