Ric1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of GTPase activity; regulation of extracellular matrix constituent secretion; and retrograde transport, endosome to Golgi. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of Ric1-Rgp1 guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor complex. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane and cytosol. Orthologous to human RIC1 (RIC1 homolog, RAB6A GEF complex partner 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Ric1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
