mRNA editing

Introduction

post-transcriptional modification of mRNA

• mRNA for the following proteins is edited:
  • apolipoprotein B48 (apoB48)*
  • neurofibromin (NF1)
  • Wilms tumor protein (WT1)
  • cytoplasmic FMR1-interacting protein 2 (CYFIP2)
  • serotonin-2C-receptor (HTR2C)
  • AMPA 2 receptor (GRIA2)
  • kainate 1 receptor (GRIK1)
  • kainate 2 receptor (GRIK2)
  • kainate 3 receptor (GRIK3)

* mRNA editing facilitated by apo-B mRNA editing complex
