basic FUNCTION	required for the maturation of multiple nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)
	promoting functional expression of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha7 subunit in cells
	can act as a specific regulator of receptor expression at different levels
	might play a key role in the biogenesis of some ligand-gated receptors and prompted us to investigate how it performs its action
	in neurons, RIC3 ER retention appears to promote transport within the dendritic ER subcompartment, thereby restricting CHRNA7 trafficking to dendrites and preventing axonal transport
	modulates the expression of CHRNA7 in a subtype-specific manner
	RIC3 differentially regulates assembly and expression of different nicotinic receptor subunits
