Description
This affinity purified antibody is directed against human GRK2. This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. A BLAST analysis of the sequence shows 100% reactivity to human, and 90% to rat, mouse, and golden hamster. . GRK2 (G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor kinase family of proteins. GRK2 Specifically phosphorylates the agonist-occupied form of the beta-adrenergic and as well as a wide range of other substrates including non-GPCR cell surface receptors, and cytoskeletal, mitochondrial, and transcription factor proteins. It is a key regulator of LPAR1 signaling. GRK2 competes with RALA for binding to LPAR1 thus affecting the signaling properties of the receptor. It desensitizes LPAR1 and LPAR2 in a phosphorylation-independent manner. And positively regulates ciliary smoothened (SMO)-dependent Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway by facilitating the trafficking of SMO into the cilium and the stimulation of SMO activity. Data from rodent models supports a role for this gene in embryonic development, heart function and metabolism. Elevated expression of this gene has been observed in human patients with heart failure and Alzheimer's disease. Anti-GRK2 Antibody is useful for researchers interested in Neuroscience, Cytokines & Growth Factors, and Stem Cell Research.
Immunogen
Anti-GRK2 antibody was prepared from whole goat serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a near C-terminal portion of human GRK2 conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH).
