Summary: Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of metabolic process. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on autosome genomic imprinting. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to lithium ion; positive regulation of protein phosphorylation; and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in microtubule. Predicted to be active in axon; cytosol; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; bone; central nervous system; craniofacial suture; and early conceptus. 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, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
