General description
G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRK2) belongs to the GRK family that includes seven known GRKs, termed as GRK1-7. It is also known as β-adrenergic receptor kinase-1 (β-ARK1) and ADRBK1. It regulates the activity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GRKs facilitate the uncoupling of GPCRs from G proteins, and participate directly in receptor endocytosis and trafficking, and modulation of ERK/MAPK cascade by GPCRs. It phosphorylates the activated form of the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) and related GPCRs. The GRK2 activity is regulated by different mechanisms including phosphorylation by kinases such as PKC, Src, ERK1/2 and p38MAPK. Phosphorylated ERK inactivates GRK2 on Ser670 in a negative feedback mechanism.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 674-689 located at the C-terminus of human GRK2/βARK1, conjugated to KLH. The immunizing sequence is specific to GRK2 (not found in human GRK1, and GRK3-7). It is identical in dog GRK2 and highly conserved (single amino acid substitution) in rat, mouse, and bovine GRK2/βARK1.
Application
Anti-GRK2 antibody is suitable for western blots of cortical synaptoneurosomes to study the β-arrestin-1 and ERK protein expression. It is also suitable for western blot at a concentration of 0.5-1μg/mL using HEK-293T cells expressing human GRK2 or Jurkat cell lysate.
Biochem/physiol Actions

G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) constitute a family of six mammalian serine/threonine protein kinases that phosphorylate agonist-bound, or activated, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) as their primary substrates. GRK-mediated receptor phosphorylation rapidly initiates profound impairment of receptor signaling, or desensitization. This

G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) are key modulators of G protein-coupled receptor signalling. Increasing evidence points to the occurrence of complex mechanisms able to modulate the subcellular localization, activity and expression levels of GRKs, revealing new functional interactions of these

Signaling through beta-arrestins is a recently appreciated mechanism used by seven-transmembrane receptors. Because G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) phosphorylation of such receptors is generally a prerequisite for beta-arrestin binding, we studied the roles of different GRKs in promoting beta-arrestin-mediated extracellular

G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) abrogate GPCR signaling by promoting receptor desensitization and internalization. Accumulating evidence suggests that GRK2 represents an important regulator of GPCR-mediated effects on systemic glucose metabolism, obesity, and insulin resistance. Despite the key role of the
