title: RNA editing: rewriting receptors.
abstract: The type of RNA editing that converts adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA generates different isoforms of subunits of the ionotropic glutamate-gated ion channel receptors. Recently, it has been reported that the pre-mRNA of the serotonin 2C receptor can be edited by the same mechanism.
