Genetics

  • RNA editing:
    • modified positions=636, partially edited
    • the unedited version (Q) assembles into a functional kainate-gated homomeric channel, whereas the edited version (R) is unable to produce channel activity when expressed alone
    • both edited & unedited versions can form functional channels with GRIK4 & GRIK5 (putative)
