CaMKII Signaling

GRK5 Controls SAP97-Dependent Cardiotoxic β1 Adrenergic Receptor-CaMKII Signaling in Heart Failureβ

Rationale: Cardiotoxic β1 adrenergic receptor (β1AR)-CaMKII signaling is a major and critical feature associated with development of heart failure. Synapse-associated protein 97 (SAP97) is a multi-functional scaffold protein that binds directly to the C-terminus of β1AR and organizes a receptor signalosome.

Objective: We aim to elucidate the dynamics of β1AR-SAP97 signalosome and its potential role in chronic cardiotoxic β1AR-CaMKII signaling that contributes to development of heart failure.
