Ric-8B interacts with G alpha olf and G gamma 13 and co-localizes with G alpha olf, G beta 1 and G gamma 13 in the cilia of olfactory sensory neurons.

Olfactory sensory neurons are able to detect odorants with high sensitivity and specificity. We have demonstrated that Ric-8B, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), interacts with Galphaolf and enhances odorant receptor signaling. Here we show that Ric-8B also interacts with Ggamma13, a divergent member of the Ggamma subunit family which has been implicated in taste signal transduction, and is abundantly ... [more]
