Kinase FA/GSK‐3α was found to exist in a highly tyrosine‐phosphorylated/activated state in resting cells but could be tyrosine‐dephosphorylated and inactivated to ∼60% of the control level when cells were acutely treated with 1 μM tumor phorbol ester (TPA) at 37oC for 30 min, as demonstrated by metabolic 32P‐labeling the cells, followed by immunoprecipitation and two‐dimensional phosphoamino acid analysis and by immunodetection in an antikinase FA/GSK‐3α immunoprecipitate kinase assay.enTumor promoter phorbol ester reversibly modulates tyrosine dephosphorylation/inactivation of protein kinase FA/GSK-3 alpha in A431 cellsjournal article10.1002/jcb.240560416.
