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 Member of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) that links tetraspanin-enriched microdomains to the actin cytoskeleton and plays several important roles in innate and adaptive immunity (PubMed:11504738, PubMed:14662754). Acts as an inducible receptor of HSPA8 on dendritic cells to enhance the CCL21/SLC-dependent migration of activated mature dendritic cells while attenuating their antigen-specific stimulatory capacities (PubMed:17785435). In complex with alpha-actinins ACTN1 and ACTN4, regulates actin dynamics in the immune synapse and subsequent T-cell activation (PubMed:22689882). Inhibits the entry of several viruses such as hepatitis C Virus (HCV) or HIV-1. Mechanistically, promotes a change in CD81 organization at the plasma membrane by significantly restricting its diffusion which in turn influences CD81 interaction with Claudin-1/CLDN1, preventing CLDN1 from acting as a co-receptor required for HCV entry (PubMed:23351194). Accumulates at the presynaptic terminal, the producer cell side of the virological synapse, to prevent HIV-1 Env-mediated cell-cell fusion (PubMed:31757023). Highly expressed on malignant cells with antigen presentation defects, interacts with NK receptor KIR3DL2 to suppress NK-cell cytotoxicity (PubMed:38657602). May participate in the regulation of neurite outgrowth and maintenance of the neural network in the adult brain.SUBUNIT Interacts directly with CD82, CD81/tetraspanin-28 and CD9/tetraspanin-29. Also interacts with integrin alpha-3/beta-1 and integrin alpha-4/beta-1. Interacts with HSPA8; this interaction modulates migratory and antigen-presenting capacities of dendritic cells (PubMed:17785435).INTERACTION Colocalizes with CD81 at the immune synapse.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Expressed in brain, kidney, testis, liver and placenta with moderate expression in all other tissues. Detected on a majority of B-cells, T-cells, and natural killer cells (PubMed:12708969). Expressed on dendritic cells (PubMed:17785435).DOMAIN The Ig-like C2-type domains 3 and 4 are required for interaction with CD81.DOMAIN The short cytoplasmic domain is very basic, interacts with membrane PIPs, and mediates plasma membrane localization.
