title: [RNA editing of serotonin 2C receptor and major mental disorders].
abstract: A-to-I RNA editing has mainly been found in various receptors and ion channels in the central nervous system, including the serotonin 2C receptor, glutamate receptor, GABA receptor, and potassium channel. Interestingly, most of them are suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of major mental disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression. Here we review studies examining the relationship between the serotonin 2C receptor and major mental disorders.
