Inhibition of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase prevents rapid homologous desensitization of beta 2-adrenergic receptors. [PDF]
Homologous (agonist-specific) desensitization of beta-adrenergic receptors (beta ARs) is accompanied by and appears to require phosphorylation of the receptors. We have recently described a novel protein kinase, beta AR kinase, which phosphorylates beta ARs in vitro in an agonist-dependent manner.

Essential role of β-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 in cardiac development and function [PDF]
The β-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 (βARK1) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) family that mediates the agonist-dependent phosphorylation and desensitization of G protein-coupled receptors. We have cloned and disrupted the βARK1 gene in mice by homologous recombination. No homozygote βARK1 −/−

Association of the regulatory beta-adrenergic receptor kinase with rat liver microsomal membranes.
beta-Adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) is a regulatory enzyme involved in the modulation of beta-adrenergic and other G protein-coupled receptors. It has been described that beta ARK is a cytosolic protein that transiently translocates to the plasma membrane in order to specifically phosphorylate agonist-occupied receptors.

Rapid agonist‐induced beta‐adrenergic receptor kinase translocation in C6 glioma cells [PDF]
Exposure of C6 glioma cells to 1 μM isoproterenol leads to fast desensitization of the β‐adrenergic receptor/adenylyl cyclase system and transient receptor sequestration. It also triggers a very rapid and transient translocation to the plasma membrane or β‐adrenergic receptor kinase (βARK), a specific cytoplasmic kinase that phosphorylates only the ...

Structure of the human gene encoding the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase.
The beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) specifically phosphorylates the agonist-occupied forms of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor and related G protein-coupled receptors. beta ARK is one of the best characterized members of a growing family of G protein-coupled receptor kinases.

Beta-adrenergic receptor kinase. Agonist-dependent receptor binding promotes kinase activation.
The beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) specifically phosphorylates the activated form of multiple receptors such as the beta 2-adrenergic receptor (beta 2 AR) and rhodopsin. beta ARK also phosphorylates synthetic peptides, albeit with an approximately 10(4)-10(7)-fold lower Vmax/Km ratio as compared to receptors, with a clear preference for ...

Unraveling the Mechanism of Impaired Osteogenic Differentiation in Osteoporosis: Insights from ADRB2 Gene Polymorphism [PDF]
Osteoporosis is characterized by increased resorption and decreased bone formation; it is predominantly influenced by genetic factors. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a vital role in bone homeostasis, and mutations in these genes are associated ...
