GRK1 (Phospho-Ser21) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

The GRK1 (Phospho-Ser21) Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can monitor GRK1 (Phospho-Ser21) protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of GRK1 (Phospho-Ser21) in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on GRK1 (Phospho-Ser21) .

Function

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.
