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.

textIn mammals, C6 interacts with C5b through a metastable binding site to form a soluble C5b:C6 dimer.

Chicken complement component C6 was cloned and characterized [Mikrou A and Zarkadis IK 2010]. It shows 81% of amino acid identity to the predicted sequence of zebra finch C6, followed by human, frog and trout counterparts with 58%, 56%, and 44% identity, respectively. Chicken C6 contains the same structural motifs as those found in mammalian terminal complement components (TSP1, LDLa, MACPF, EGF). In addition, like mammalian C6/C7 components, chicken C6 contains two complement control protein (CCP) motifs. Chicken C6 carries two copies of the FIMAC domain, which has been implicated in the interaction of mammalian C6/C7 proteins with C5.

Chicken C6 mRNA expression was detected in various tissues - liver, brain, heart, kidney [Mikrou A and Zarkadis IK 2010].
