GRK1
Retina-specific kinase involved in the signal turnoff via phosphorylation of rhodopsin (RHO), the G protein- coupled receptor that initiates the phototransduction cascade. This rapid desensitization is essential for scotopic vision and permits rapid adaptation to changes in illumination. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. GPRK subfamily. Retinal-specific. Expressed in rods and cones cells. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
