Related Product Information for GRK6 recombinant protein

Full-length recombinant human GRK6 was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. The gene accession number is BC017272.
GRK6 is a Ser/Thr protein kinase and a member of the G protein-coupled receptor kinase subfamily. GRK6 is present in all tissues with strongest expression in placenta and skeletal muscle. GRK6 can phosphorylate proteins such as rhodopsin, ADRB2 and the leukotriene B4 receptor BLT1 (1). GRK6 phosphorylates G protein-coupled dopamine receptors, thereby regulating their activity and mediating desensitization of the receptors. GRK6 knockout mice showed supersensitivity to the locomotor-stimulating effects of psychostimulants, including cocaine and amphetamine (2).

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor kinase subfamily of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. The protein phosphorylates the activated forms of G protein-coupled receptors thus initiating their deactivation. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
