Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
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]
