Structured_description Provisional_description The ric-3 gene encodes a novel, highly charged protein with two transmembrane domains and extensive coiled-coil domains; it is necessary for the function of at least four nicotinic acetylcholine receptors; specifically, it is needed for assembly or trafficking of the DEG-3 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005151

However, GABA and glutamate receptors, despite being coexpressed with ric-3-dependent nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, are unaffected by mutation of ric-3.
Mutations in ric-3 mutants are resistant to inhibitors of cholinesterase and suppress neurodegeneration caused by a gain-of-function deg-3 mutation.
Coexpression of ric-3 in Xenopus laevis oocytes enhances the activity of the C.elegans DEG-3/DES-2 and of the rat alpha-7 acetylcholine receptors.
