Historical Perspective of the G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase Family [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Agonist activation of G protein-coupled receptors promotes sequential interaction of the receptor with heterotrimeric G proteins, G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs), and arrestins. GRKs play a central role in mediating the switch from G protein to

The Open Question of How GPCRs Interact with GPCR Kinases (GRKs)
Biomolecules, 2021 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which regulate a vast number of eukaryotic processes, are desensitized by various mechanisms but, most importantly, by the GPCR kinases (GRKs).

G protein receptor kinase type 2: A novel target in cardiovascular drug development [PDF]
Hospital Pharmacology, 2014 In spite of significant advancement in pharmacotherapy, heart failure remains one of the main causes of death worldwide. The existing treatment of heart failure prolongs life span by slowing down the pathological process but does not induce heart healing.
