Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) are serine/threonine kinases first discovered by its role in receptor desensitization. Phosphorylation of the C-terminal tail of GPCRs by GRKs triggers the docking of beta-arrestins and the functional uncoupling of G proteins and receptors. In addition, we and others have uncovered new direct ways by which GRKs could impinge into intracellular signalling pathways...
