Updated on 04-November-2015
FunctionArrestin (ARR) is a ubiquitous protein which binds to the G protein-coupled receptor after its phosphorylation. ARR binding blocks further G protein-mediated signaling and redirects signaling to alternative non-G protein-independent pathways. Hence, ARR are versatile adaptor molecules which can also activate signaling cascades and are involved in nuclear functions. Structural highlightsARR consist of 2 domains. The N terminal domain structure is immunoglobulin-like. The binding site of phosphorylated light-activated rhodopsin is located at the N terminal of ARR.
