Summary

Name GRK1
Full Name Rhodopsin kinase GRK1
Synonyms RK, G protein-coupled receptor kinase 1 | RHOK
Primary ID Q15835
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 9
Function Retina-specific kinase involved in the signal turnoff via phosphorylation of rhodopsin (RHO), the G protein- coupled receptor that initiates the phototransduction cascade (PubMed:15946941). This rapid desensitization is essential for scotopic vision and permits rapid adaptation to changes in illumination (By similarity). May play a role in the maintenance of the outer nuclear layer in the retina (By similarity).
