Gene:
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 4
Gene ID:
209529
Symbol:
GRK4
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor kinase subfamily of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. The protein phosphorylates the activated forms of G protein-coupled receptors thus initiating its deactivation. This gene has been linked to both genetic and acquired hypertension.
