The skin epithelium and its organelles use glycogen as well as glucose as source of energy. Therefore the characterisation of glycogen metabolism and the enzymes involved is important in the study of mechanisms regulating the normal or abnormal differentiation of skin organelles such as sebaceous gl

## Abstract Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSKβ3) is a protein kinase that plays essential roles in the control of several developmental, metabolic, and apoptotic processes. Owing to its negative actions on several oncogenic insults, it has been considered a putative functional tumor suppressor. We st
To explore the function of the enzyme transglutaminase 1 (TGase 1), its distribution was analysed by immunofluorescence microscopy, postembedding immunoelectron microscopy and in situ hybridization. TGase 1 was expressed in the outer root sheath (ORS) cells in the distal portion of the isthmus and i
## Abstract Glycogen synthase kinase 3Ξ² (GSK3Ξ²) activity is regulated by phosphorylation processes and regulates in turn through phosphorylation several proteins, including eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF2B). Serine 9 phosphorylation of GSK3Ξ² (pGSK3Ξ²Ser9), usually promoted by activation of the
