RESUMO

Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs), which are found in animals but are not known in other organisms, deaminate adenosines site-specifically within the coding sequences of transcripts encoding ion-channel subunits, increasing the diversity of these proteins in the central nervous system.
