Gene Description

GRK2 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates activated G protein-coupled receptors, helping recruit arrestins and regulate receptor responsiveness and trafficking. Its membrane recruitment and activity depend on receptor engagement, phospholipids and G beta/gamma. GRK2 also has non-receptor substrates and kinase-independent regulatory interactions. Cytosolic and plasma-membrane pools participate in neurotransmitter and cardiovascular signaling, while mitochondrial-surface and ciliary pools support distinct metabolic and Hedgehog-related functions.

Core Functions

ATP-dependent phosphorylation of activated GPCRs regulates receptor responsiveness and trafficking; substrate and membrane context determine whether the outcome is desensitization or another signaling response.

Supporting Evidence:

GRK2 also phosphorylates non-GPCR substrates and has compartment-specific kinase functions beyond receptor desensitization.

Supporting Evidence:
