The essential role of AMPA receptor GluR2 subunit RNA editing in the normal and diseased brain
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012 AMPA receptors are comprised of different combinations of GluR1-GluR4 (also known as GluA1-GluA4 and GluR-A to GluR-D) subunits. The GluR2 subunit is subject to Q/R site RNA editing by the ADAR2 enzyme, which converts a codon for glutamine (Q), present ...
