Regulation of Na+/K+ ATPase transport velocity by RNA editing.

Because firing properties and metabolic rates vary widely, neurons require different transport rates from their Na(+)/K(+) pumps in order to maintain ion homeostasis. In this study we show that Na(+)/K(+) pump activity is tightly regulated by a novel process, RNA editing. Three codons within the squ...
