  • (20) The beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta-ARK), which specifically phosphorylates only the agonist-occupied form of the beta-adrenergic and closely related receptors, appears to be important in mediating rapid agonist-specific (homologous) desensitization.

Cark


Definition:

  • (n.) A noxious or corroding care; solicitude; worry.
