RIC-7 promotes neuropeptide secretion.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2012

Hao Yingsong, Hu Zhitao, Sieburth Derek, Kaplan Joshua M

Abstract excerpt

Secretion of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides is mediated by exocytosis of distinct secretory organelles, synaptic vesicles (SVs) and dense core vesicles (DCVs) respectively. Relatively little is known about factors that differentially regulate SV and DCV secretion. Here we identify a novel protein RIC-7 that is required for neuropeptide secretion in Caenorhabditis elegans. The RIC-7 protein is expressed in...
