G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) as a Potential Therapeutic Target in Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a central signaling node involved in the modulation of many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and also displaying regulatory functions in other cell signaling routes.

G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Regulates T Cell Response in a Murine Model of House Dust Mite-Induced Asthma [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is an adapter protein that modulates G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. It also regulates the functions and activity of other intracellular proteins in many cell types.

Myocardial pathology induced by aldosterone is dependent on non-canonical activities of G protein-coupled receptor kinases [PDF]
High aldosterone levels cause heart damage independently of its well-known effect on blood pressure. Here, Cannavo et al. show that aldosterone-mediated cardiac pathology involves G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase 2 (GRK2) and GRK5 that integrate ...

G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is localized to centrosomes and mediates epidermal growth factor-promoted centrosomal separation. [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) play a central role in regulating receptor signaling, but recent studies suggest a broader role in modulating normal cellular functions.

Regulation of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 and its role in tumors [PDF]
Background G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2(GRK2) is a pivotal regulator of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signal desensitization. It is increasingly recognized for its involvement in the pathogenesis of various malignancies through non-canonical ...

G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Promotes Breast Tumorigenesis Through a HDAC6-Pin1 Axis [PDF]
In addition to oncogenic drivers, signaling nodes can critically modulate cancer-related cellular networks to strength tumor hallmarks. We identify G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) as a relevant player in breast cancer.

Cys340Ser Mutation Abolishing S-Nitrosylation Drives GRK2 Mitochondrial Localization and Dysfunction [PDF]
In cardiac pathologies, levels of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2)—which is involved in receptor desensitization and internalization—are elevated. Beyond these receptor-mediated effects, GRK2 also localizes to mitochondria, where it contributes

Myocardial Ablation of G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Decreases Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury through an Anti-Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway. [PDF]
Studies from our lab have shown that decreasing myocardial G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) activity and expression can prevent heart failure progression after myocardial infarction.

P-Rex1 limits the agonist-induced internalization of GPCRs independently of its Rac-GEF activity
Summary: The guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) P-Rex1 mediates G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling by activating the small GTPase Rac. We show here that P-Rex1 also controls GPCR trafficking.
