Gene Summary

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including learning; regionalization; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including female germline ring canal; fusome; and microtubule cytoskeleton. Part of beta-catenin destruction complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; epithelium; germ layer; gut section; and synaptic neuropil domain. Used to study Alzheimer's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; bipolar disorder; oral squamous cell carcinoma; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to several human genes including GSK3B (glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
