| Format: 96-well plate | | Form: 96 Tests | | Detection Method: Colorimetric | | Species Reactivity: human, mouse, rat | | Sensitivity: < 0.4 U/ml | | Assay Range: 1.6-100 U/ml | | Unit Definition: One unit (U) is defined as the amount of GSK-3b (pSer9) phosphorylated in 300 pg total GSK-3b. | | Assay Time: 4 h | | Kit Contents: GSK-3b (pSer9) Standard, Standard Diluent Buffer, GSK-3b Antibody-Coated 96-Well Plate, Rabbit Anti-GSK-3b (pSer9) Detector Antibody, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG-HRP Concentrate, HRP Diluent, Wash Buffer Concentrate, TMB, Stop Solution, Plate Covers, and a user protocol. | | Comments: Detects and quantifies the level of GSK-3b (glycogen synthase kinase-3beta) phosphorylated at Ser9 in human, mouse, and rat cells. GSK-3b is a non-receptor serine/threonine kinase that is a key modulator of cell fate, neuronal plasticity, and tumorigenesis. It also plays an important role in diabetes, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease via regulation of microtubule stability and phosphorylation of the microtubule associating protein, tau. | | Ref.: Bhatt, R.V., et al. 2004.
