User Note: Optimal dilutions for each application to be determined by the researcher.

BACKGROUND: Beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (ADRBK1) , also known as GRK2, phosphorylates the beta-2-adrenergic receptor and appears to mediate agonist-specific desensitization observed at high agonist concentrations. ADRBK1 is an ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme that specifically phosphorylates the activated form of the beta-adrenergic and related G-protein-coupled receptors. Heart failure is accompanied by severely impaired beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) function. An important mechanism for the rapid desensitization of beta-AR function is agonist-stimulated receptor phosphorylation by the beta-AR kinase (beta-ARK1) , an enzyme known to be elevated in failing human heart tissue. Abnormal coupling of beta-adrenergic receptor to G protein is involved in the pathogenesis of the failing heart.
