IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 2.7.11.16

Accepted name: G-protein-coupled receptor kinase

Reaction: ATP + [G-protein-coupled receptor] = ADP + [G-protein-coupled receptor] phosphate

Other name(s): G protein-coupled receptor kinase; GPCR kinase; GPCRK; GRK4; GRK5; GRK6; STK16

Systematic name: ATP:[G-protein-coupled receptor] phosphotransferase

Comments: Requires G-protein for activation and therefore belongs to the family of G-protein-dependent receptor kinases (GRKs). All members of this enzyme subfamily possess a highly conserved binding site for 1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. (cf. EC 2.7.11.14, rhodopsin kinase and EC 2.7.11.15, β-adrenergic-receptor kinase).
