epitope corresponding to amino acids 88-369 mapping at the C-terminus of RIC-3 of human origin
Modification Notes
RIC-3 (resistant to inhibitors of cholinesterase-3) is the mammalian homolog of the ric-3 protein from C.elegans. It contains two transmembrane domains and a coiled coil domain. RIC-3 is expressed in neurons and localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum where it plays a role in receptor folding and subunit assembly. In particular, RIC-3 is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)-associated protein and it significantly enhances the subunit assembly, proper folding, stability and surface expression of several heteromeric and homomeric nAChR subtypes as well as some 5-HT3 receptors. This suggests that RIC-3 may be an important regulator of receptor expression. Several isoforms exist for RIC-3 and they exhibit overlapping but distinct localizations. In addition, these isoforms may have various affects on receptor expression.
