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 Regulates cellular transport and efflux of cholesterol (PubMed:26941018). Plays a role in phosphatidylinositol-4-phophate (PI4P) turnover at the neuronal membrane (By similarity). Binds via its PH domain PI4P, phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate, phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate, and phosphatidic acid (By similarity). Weakly binds 25-hydroxycholesterol (PubMed:17428193).SUBUNIT Homodimer (By similarity). Interacts with OSBPL3 (By similarity).INTERACTION Co-localizes with OSBPL3 at contact sites between the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Expressed in brain and striated muscle (at protein level) (PubMed:14593528). Widely expressed (PubMed:11735225). Expressed in skeletal muscle (PubMed:14593528).DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE Expressed in fetal brain and lung.INDUCTION By acetylated low-density lipoprotein.SIMILARITY Belongs to the OSBP family.
