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 Functions as a permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (L-arginine, L-lysine, L-ornithine and L-homoarginine); the affinity for its substrates differs between isoforms created by alternative splicing (PubMed:28684763, PubMed:9174363). May play a role in classical or alternative activation of macrophages via its role in arginine transport (By similarity).FUNCTION Functions as a permease that mediates the transport of the cationic amino acids (L-arginine, L-lysine, L-ornithine and L-homoarginine). Shows a much higher affinity for L-arginine and L-homoarginine than isoform 2.FUNCTION Functions as a low-affinity, high capacity permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (L-arginine, L-lysine, L-ornithine and L-homoarginine).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-arginine(in) = L-arginine(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-arginine(in) = L-arginine(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-lysine(in) = L-lysine(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-ornithine(in) = L-ornithine(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-homoarginine(in) = L-homoarginine(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-homoarginine(in) = L-homoarginine(out)BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Optimum pH is 7.5 for L-arginine transport.BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES In contrast with isoform 1, saturation of L-homoarginine uptake could not be reached.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Expressed at high levels in the skeletal muscle, placenta and ovary. Expressed at intermediate levels in the liver and pancreas and at low levels in the kidney and heart.SIMILARITY Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. Cationic amino acid transporter (CAT) (TC 2.A.3.3) family.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.
