GRK6 Antibody

Alternative Names G protein-coupled receptor kinase 6 (EC 2.7.11.16) (G protein-coupled receptor kinase GRK6), GRK6, GPRK6
Categories Primary Antibodies
Clonality polyclonal

Alternative Names :
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 6 (EC 2.7.11.16) (G protein-coupled receptor kinase GRK6), GRK6, GPRK6

Description :
Specifically phosphorylates the activated forms of G protein-coupled receptors. Such receptor phosphorylation initiates beta-arrestin-mediated receptor desensitization, internalization, and signaling events leading to their desensitization. Seems to be involved in the desensitization of D2-like dopamine receptors in striatum and chemokine receptor CXCR4 which is critical for CXCL12-induced cell chemotaxis (By similarity). Phosphorylates rhodopsin (RHO) (in vitro) and a non G-protein-coupled receptor: LRP6 during Wnt signaling (in vitro).
