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.

textThe first and rate limiting step in serotonin (5-HT) biosynthesis is catalyzed by tryptophan hydroxylase. The enzyme requires iron(II), tetrahydrobiopterin, and dioxygen cofactors for the hydroxylation of L-tryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptophan. Tryptophan hydroxylase belongs to a small family of monooxygenases that utilize tetrahydrobiopterins. Other members are phenylalanine hydroxylase and tyrosine hydroxylase (Fitzpatrick, PF, 1999; Walther et al, 2003).
