Ric-8A, a Gα protein guanine nucleotide exchange factor potentiates taste receptor signaling

Taste receptors for sweet, bitter and umami tastants are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). While much effort has been devoted to understanding G-protein-receptor interactions and identifying the components of the signalling cascade downstream of these receptors, at the level of the G-protein the...
