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.

textLactosylceramide (LacCer) is the central intermediate in glycosphingolipid catabolism. Beta-galactosidase (GLB1) cleaves the galactose moiety from LacCer to form glucosylceramide. LacCer accumulates in GLB1 deficiencies (MIM: 611458) like GM1-gangliosidosis but also in prosaposin deficiency (PSAPD, MIM: 611721), which shows saposin cofactors are essential for the reaction (Asp et al. 1969; Bradova et al., 1993). We follow Sandhoff & Sandhoff (2018), who state that Saposins B/C bind to LacCer.
