Current opinion in drug discovery & development, 2008•europepmc.orgIt is just over a quarter of a century since the original identification and characterization of
glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), a major protein kinase that is involved in the
regulation of glucose metabolism. GSK-3 modulates the function of a diverse series of
proteins, as well as being associated with a wide variety of human disorders, including
neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, bipolar disorder, diabetes and cancer. Not surprisingly,
GSK-3 has attracted significant attention as a therapeutic target and as a means to …

It is just over a quarter of a century since the original identification and characterization of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), a major protein kinase that is involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism. GSK-3 modulates the function of a diverse series of proteins, as well as being associated with a wide variety of human disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, bipolar disorder, diabetes and cancer. Not surprisingly, GSK-3 has attracted significant attention as a therapeutic target and as a means to understand the molecular basis of these disorders. Small-molecule GSK-3 inhibitors have now started to reach clinical development for the treatment of various disorders.
