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 A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in epidermal ceramide biosynthesis. Hydroxylates the terminal carbon (omega-hydroxylation) of ultra-long-chain fatty acyls (C28-C36) prior to ceramide synthesis (PubMed:26056268). Contributes to the synthesis of three classes of omega-hydroxy-ultra-long chain fatty acylceramides having sphingosine, 6-hydroxysphingosine and phytosphingosine bases, all major lipid components that underlie the permeability barrier of the stratum corneum (PubMed:26056268). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR; NADPH-ferrihemoprotein reductase) (PubMed:26056268).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY triacontanoate + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = omega-hydroxy-triacontanoate + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + H2O + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY an omega-methyl-ultra-long-chain fatty acid + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = an omega-hydroxy-ultra-long-chain fatty acid + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + H2O + H(+)COFACTOR The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.CAUTION A second transmembrane domain at positions 95-115 is predicted by three programs ESKW, MEMSAT and Phobius. However experimental evidence supports the presence of a single signal-anchor transmembrane domain at the N-terminus.
