Used in research to modulate cellular signaling pathways linked to neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. Helps in studying the role of GSK-3 enzyme in tau protein phosphorylation and amyloid-beta production. Also applied in stem cell research to support pluripotency maintenance and in cancer studies to explore cell proliferation and apoptosis mechanisms. Commonly used in in vitro assays to evaluate potential therapeutic strategies targeting glycogen synthase kinase activity.
