RIC8 guanine nucleotide exchange factor A (Ric-8A), also known as Synmebryn-A, is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), which can activate some, but not all, G-alpha proteins. It is able to activate GNAI1, GNAO1 and GNAQ, but not GNAS by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Ric-8A is involved in regulation of microtubule pulling forces during mitotic movement of chromosomes by stimulating G(i)-alpha protein, possibly leading to release G(i)-alpha-GTP and NuMA proteins from the NuMA-GPSM2-G(i)-alpha-GDP complex (By similarity). It also acts as an activator for G(q)-alpha (GNAQ) protein by enhancing the G(q)-coupled receptor-mediated ERK activation [taken from the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9NPQ8].
