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.

textMitochondrial succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid coenzyme A transferases 1 and 2 (OXCT1 and OXCT2) are key enzymes for the metabolism of ketone bodies, catalysing the first rate-limiting step of ketone body utilisation in peripheral tissues. In dimeric form, they mediate the transfer of a CoA moiety from succinyl-CoA (SUCC-CoA) to acetoacetate (ACA) to form acetoacetyl-CoA (ACA-CoA) and succinate (SUCCA) (Kassovska-Bratinova et al. 1996, Tanaka et al. 2002). ACA-CoA can be converted to acetyl-CoA which can be utilised by the tricarboxylic acid cycle for energy production.
