Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase terminal complexes ('rosettes'), required for beta-1,4-glucan microfibril crystallization, a major mechanism of the cell wall formation (By similarity). Involved in the secondary cell wall formation.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY [(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl](n) + UDP-alpha-D-glucose = [(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl](n+1) + UDP + H(+)COFACTOR Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit.PATHWAY Glycan metabolism; plant cellulose biosynthesis.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Plants develop a brittle culm (bc) phenotype with a reduction of up to 80 percent of cellulose content in culm.SIMILARITY Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family. Plant cellulose synthase subfamily.
