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

Astrocyte GRK2 as a novel regulator of glutamate transport and brain damage
G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase 2 (GRK2) regulates cellular signaling via desensitization of GPCRs and by direct interaction with intracellular signaling molecules. We recently described that ischemic brain injury decreases cerebral GRK2 levels.

miR-181a post-transcriptionally targets GRK2 to limit maladaptive signaling in cardiomyocytes [PDF]
BackgroundPathological upregulation of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a hallmark of heart failure and contributes to maladaptive signaling, hypertrophic remodeling, and cardiomyocyte death.

G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Promotes Breast Tumorigenesis Through a HDAC6-Pin1 Axis
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.

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 ...

Mitochondrial accumulation of GRK2 as a protective mechanism against hypoxia-induced endothelial dysfunction [PDF]
Hypoxia, a condition characterized by a temporary lack of oxygen, causes mitochondrial damage, which in turn leads to endothelial dysfunction. G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) plays a key role in vascular homeostasis and remodeling, influencing

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.
