Description
Description: The product of this gene phosphorylates the beta-2-adrenergic receptor and appears to mediate agonist-specific desensitization observed at high agonist concentrations. This protein is an ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme that specifically phosphorylates the activated form of the beta-adrenergic and related G-protein-coupled receptors. Abnormal coupling of beta-adrenergic receptor to G protein is involved in the pathogenesis of the failing heart.
Function: Specifically phosphorylates the agonist-occupied form of the beta-adrenergic and closely related receptors, probably inducing a desensitization of them. Key regulator of LPAR1 signaling. Competes with RALA for binding to LPAR1 thus affecting the signaling properties of the receptor. Desensitizes LPAR1 and LPAR2 in a phosphorylation-independent manner (PubMed:19306925, PubMed:19715378). Positively regulates ciliary smoothened (SMO)-dependent Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway by faciltating the trafficking of SMO into the cilium and the stimulation of SMO activity (By similarity).
Subunit Structure: Interacts with GIT1 (By similarity). Interacts with, and phosphorylates chemokine-stimulated CCR5 (PubMed:10085131). Interacts with ARRB1 (PubMed:9501202). Interacts with LPAR1 and LPAR2 (PubMed:19306925). Interacts with RALA in response to LPAR1 activation (PubMed:19306925). ADRBK1 and RALA mutually inhibit each other's binding to LPAR1 (PubMed:19306925). Interacts with ADRB2 (PubMed:19715378).
Similarity: The PH domain binds anionic phospholipids and helps recruiting ADRBK1 from the cytoplasm to plasma membrane close to activated receptors. It mediates binding to G protein beta and gamma subunits, competing with G-alpha subunits and other G-betagamma effectors. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. GPRK subfamily
