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 Catalyzes the activation of fatty acids by CoA to produce an acyl-CoA, the first step in fatty acid metabolism (By similarity). Capable of activating medium-chain fatty acids (e.g. butyric (C4) to decanoic (C10) acids), and certain carboxylate-containing xenobiotics, e.g. benzoate (By similarity).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY a medium-chain fatty acid + ATP + CoA = a medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphateCATALYTIC ACTIVITY benzoate + ATP + CoA = benzoyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphateCATALYTIC ACTIVITY hexanoate + ATP + CoA = hexanoyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphateCATALYTIC ACTIVITY butanoate + ATP + CoA = butanoyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphateCATALYTIC ACTIVITY octanoate + ATP + CoA = octanoyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphateCATALYTIC ACTIVITY decanoate + ATP + CoA = decanoyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphateCOFACTOR Monomer.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.
