Description
Product Characteristics: 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.,GRK2,ADRBK1,BARK1,BETA-ARK1,Signal Transduction,G protein signaling,G-Protein-Coupled Receptors(GPCR),G2/M DNA Damage Checkpoint,Kinase,Serine/threonine kinases,Immunology & Inflammation,Neuroscience,GRK2
