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.

textRetinoic acid (RA) is a biologically active analogue of vitamin A (retinol). RA plays an important role in regulating cell growth and differentiation.CYP26A1 is involved in the metabolic breakdown of RA by 4-hydroxylation. CYP26A1-mediated 4-hydroxylation is specific for all-trans-RA but not for the isomers 13-cis-RA and 9-cis-RA (Sonneveld et al. 1998). CYP26B1 can also deactivate all-trans-retinoic acid by 4-hydroxylation. High expression levels in the cerebellum and pons of human brain suggests a protective role of specific tissues against retinoid damage (White et al. 2000).
