The counter-regulatory effects of insulin and catecholamines on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism are well studied, whereas the details of insulin regulation of β adrenergic receptor (βAR) signaling pathway in heart remain unknown. Here, we characterize a novel signaling pathway of insulin receptor (IR) to G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) in the heart. Insulin stimulates recruitment of GRK2 to β2AR, which induces β2AR phosphorylation at the GRK sites of serine 355/356 and subsequently ...[more]
