Background
"RIC8, guanine nucleotide exchange factor A, a 520-amino acid protein, belongs to member of the Synembryn family. The cellular localization is predicted to be cytoplasmic. RIC-8 was originally found by genetic studies on C. elegans mutants that were resistant to inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase and reported to act in vitro as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for G protein alpha subunits. Ric-8A was translocated to the cell membrane in response to the G-coupled receptor stimulation. It enhances ERK activation and the guanine nucleotide exchange activity. "
