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.

textHeme oxygenases (HMOXs) cleaves the heme ring at the alpha-methene bridge to form bilverdin. This reaction forms the only endogenous source of carbon monoxide. HMOX1 is inducible and is thought to have an antioxidant role as it is activated in virtually all cell types and by many types of "oxidative stress" (Poss & Tonegawa 1997). HMOX1 forms dimers/oligomers in the endoplasmatic reticulum. This oligomerization is crucial for the stabilization and function of HMOX1 in the ER (Hwang et al. 2009). HMOX2 is non-inducible.
