Gene information for GRK1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6011
Official gene symbolGRK1
Full nameG protein-coupled receptor kinase 1
Aliases,GPRK1,RHOK,RK,
Gene summaryThis 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 rhodopsin and initiates its deactivation. Defects in GRK1 are known to cause Oguchi disease 2 (also known as stationary night blindness Oguchi type-2). [provided by RefSeq]
