UniProt Protein Function: | GRK7: Retina-specific kinase involved in the shutoff of the photoresponse and adaptation to changing light conditions via cone opsin phosphorylation, including rhodopsin (RHO). Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. GPRK subfamily. |
UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:EC 2.7.11.14; Kinase, protein; Protein kinase, AGC; Protein kinase, Ser/Thr (non-receptor); EC 2.7.11.16; AGC group; GRK family; GRK subfamily Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 3q24 Molecular Function:rhodopsin kinase activity Biological Process: protein amino acid autophosphorylation; regulation of rhodopsin mediated signaling |
NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor kinase subfamily of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. It is specifically expressed in the retina and the encoded protein has been shown to phosphorylate cone opsins and initiate their deactivation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
