Background

G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) are important modulators of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. Receptor phosphorylation by specific GRKs plays a key role in triggering rapid desensitization. The GRK family consists of 7 isoforms that share a central catalytic domain with homology to other serine/threonine kinases. The catalytic domain is flanked by an amino-terminal RGS domain of 183‑188 amino acids and a carboxyl-terminus of variable length. GRK3 (also known as beta -adrenergic receptor kinase 2, or beta ARK2) and GRK2 ( beta ARK1) are members of the beta -adrenergic receptor kinase subfamily. GRK3 may phosphorylate alpha -synuclein at S129, suggesting a potential involvement for this kinase in Parkinson’s disease.
