Drug Development Targeting the Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β (GSK-3β)-Mediated Signal Transduction Pathway: The Role of GSK-3β in the Maintenance of Steady-State Levels of Insulin Receptor Signaling Molecules and Nav1.7 Sodium Channel in Adrenal Chromaffin Cells
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is constitutively active in nonstimulated cells, where the majority of its substrates undergo inactivation/proteolysis by phosphorylation. Extracellular stimuli (e.g., insulin) catalyze inhibitory Ser9-phosphorylation of GSK-3β, turning on signaling and causing oth...
