Hepatocellular carcinomas along with few cases of colorectal and testis cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Rarely testis cancers and melanomas displayed nucleolar staining. Other cancer tissues were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
GRK4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
GPRK2L, GPRK4
Description
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
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. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]
