This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 47 kDa and is ubiquitously expressed across various tissues including the brain lungs and heart. Beta-arrestin 2 works by binding to phosphorylated GPCRs facilitating receptor desensitization and endocytosis which stops the receptor's signaling activity and mediates receptor internalization.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nBeta-arrestin 2 plays an important role in mediating signal transduction pathways beyond GPCR desensitization including those involved in cell communication and cellular response regulation. Beta-arrestin 2 interacts with multiple signaling proteins to form complexes that facilitate signaling pathways notably influencing MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase) pathways. It provides a scaffold for downstream signaling molecules affecting cell signaling outcomes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nBeta-arrestin 2 significantly participates in two important biological pathways: the MAPK pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. Through these pathways beta-arrestin 2 interacts with signaling proteins such as ERK1\/2 (Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinases) and dishevelled proteins. These interactions highlight beta-arrestin 2's ability to modulate signal strength and duration contributing to diverse cellular responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nBeta-arrestin 2 is implicated in conditions like heart failure and certain cancers. The aberrant regulation of beta-arrestin 2-related pathways can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation or inadequate heart responses. Additionally beta-arrestin 2 is connected to proteins like GPCR kinases in the context of heart failure and MAPK proteins within oncogenic processes underlining its potential as a therapeutic target.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843874148521,"sku":"ab132309","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab132309","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
