ARRB1 (Beta-arrestin-1) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Functions in regulating agonist-mediated G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling by mediating both receptor desensitisation and resensitisation processes. During homologous desensitisation, beta-arrestins bind to the GPCR-phosphorylated receptor and sterically preclude its coupling to the cognate G protein; the binding appears to require additional receptor determinants exposed only in the active receptor conformation. The beta-arrestins target many receptors for internalisation by acting as endocytic adapters (CLASPs, clathrin-associated sorting proteins) and recruiting the GPRCs to the adapter protein 2 complex 2 (AP-2) in clathrin-coated pits (CCPs). However, the extent of beta-arrestin involvement appears to vary significantly depending on the receptor, agonist and cell type. Internalised arrestin-receptor complexes traffic to intracellular endosomes, where they remain uncoupled from G proteins. Two different modes of arrestin-mediated internalisation occur. Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus; Cell membrane; Membrane, clathrin-coated pit (UniProt). Locus 11q13.4 (HGNC).
