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.
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).

Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
