Scientists Fixate on Ric-8 to Understand Trafficking of Popular Drug Receptor Targets
Published: December 28, 2011. by University of Rochester Medical Center 
Half the drugs used today target a single class of proteins – and now scientists have identified an important molecular player critical to the proper workings of those proteins critical to our health. A protein known as Ric-8 plays a vital role, according to new results from a team led by Gregory Tall, Ph.D., assistant professor of Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Rochester Medical Center. The work was published recently in Science Signaling.
