From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RIC-3 also known as resistance to inhibitors of cholinesterase 3 is a chaperone protein that in humans is encoded by the RIC3 gene . The RIC3 gene was first discovered in C. elegans [ 5] ligand gated ion channels including the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors ,[ 6] [ 7] homomeric α7 nicotinic receptor . RIC-3 enhances currents generated by these receptors by expediting receptor transport to the cell surface and by increasing receptor number.[ 8]
