About Gsk3a

Primary_assembly 1: 80,815,850-80,825,802 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026974.1

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 260 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 12 phenotypes. Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 162.2), Adrenal (RPKM 117.9) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables protein kinase A catalytic subunit binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of dendrite development; positive regulation of neuron apoptotic process; and protein phosphorylation. Located in cytoplasm and microtubule. Biomarker of Parkinsonism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Orthologous to human GSK3A (glycogen synthase kinase 3 alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
