| Gene Symbol: | GRK1 |
| Gene ID: | 6011 |
| Uniprot ID: | GRK1_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: | 6-55 aa |
| Specificity: | Phospho-GRK 1 (S21) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of GRK 1 protein only when phosphorylated at S21. |
| Immunogen: | The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from the human GRK1 around the phosphorylation site of Ser21 at the amino acid range 6-55 |
| Post Translational Modifications | Autophosphorylated, Ser-21 is a minor site of autophosphorylation compared to Ser-491 and Thr-492. Phosphorylation at Ser-21 is regulated by light and activated by cAMP. Farnesylation is required for full activity. |
| Function | Retina-specific kinase involved in the signal turnoff via phosphorylation of rhodopsin (RHO), the G protein- coupled receptor that initiates the phototransduction cascade. This rapid desensitization is essential for scotopic vision and permits rapid adaptation to changes in illumination. May play a role in the maintenance of the outer nuclear layer in the retina. |
