Anti-GRK2 / Beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Beta adrenergic receptor kinase (beta-ARK or BARK) is a serine/threonine intracellular kinase. 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. Protein function: Specifically phosphorylates the agonist-occupied form of the beta-adrenergic and closely related receptors, probably inducing a desensitization of them (PubMed:19715378). Key regulator of LPAR1 signaling (PubMed:19306925). Competes with RALA for binding to LPAR1 thus affecting the signaling properties of the receptor (PubMed:19306925). Desensitizes LPAR1 and LPAR2 in a phosphorylation- independent manner (PubMed:19306925). Positively regulates ciliary smoothened (SMO)-dependent Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway by facilitating the trafficking of SMO into the cilium and the stimulation of SMO activity. Inhibits relaxation of airway smooth muscle in response to blue light (PubMed:30284927). [The UniProt Consortium]
