Abstract excerpt
The ADARB1 gene encodes the adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 2 (ADAR2) RNA editing enzyme, which edits the GRIA2 transcript Q/R editing site with almost 100% efficiency in the nervous system. The edited GRIA2 R transcript encodes the GLUA2 R subunit isoform of tetrameric α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors, which is essential to prevent seizures associated with aberrantly...
