Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) phosphorylate agonist-activated GPCRs, initiating their homologous desensitization. In this article, we present data showing that GRK4 constitutively phosphorylates the D1 receptor in the absence of agonist activation. This constitutive phosphorylation is mediated exclusively by the alpha isoform of GRK4; the beta, gamma, and delta isoforms are ineffective in this...
