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 High-affinity receptor for interleukin-15 (PubMed:8530383). Can signal both in cis and trans where IL15R from one subset of cells presents IL15 to neighboring IL2RG-expressing cells (By similarity). In neutrophils, binds and activates kinase SYK in response to IL15 stimulation (PubMed:15123770). In neutrophils, required for IL15-induced phagocytosis in a SYK-dependent manner (PubMed:15123770). Expression of different isoforms may alter or interfere with signal transduction (PubMed:10480910).FUNCTION Does not bind IL15.FUNCTION Does not bind IL15.FUNCTION Does not bind IL15.FUNCTION Does not bind IL15.SUBUNIT The interleukin-15 receptor IL15R is a heterotrimer of IL15RA, IL2RB and IL2RG. IL15RA also self-associates (PubMed:17643103). Interacts with SYK (PubMed:15123770).INTERACTION Mainly found associated with the nuclear membrane.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Isoform 5, isoform 6, isoform 7 and isoform 8 are associated with endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi and cytoplasmic vesicles, but not with the nuclear membrane.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Isoform 5, isoform 6, isoform 7 and isoform 8 are associated with endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi and cytoplasmic vesicles, but not with the nuclear membrane.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Isoform 5, isoform 6, isoform 7 and isoform 8 are associated with endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi and cytoplasmic vesicles, but not with the nuclear membrane.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Isoform 5, isoform 6, isoform 7 and isoform 8 are associated with endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi and cytoplasmic vesicles, but not with the nuclear membrane.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Expressed in neutrophils (at protein level) (PubMed:15123770). Expressed in fetal brain with higher expression in the hippocampus and cerebellum than in cortex and thalamus (PubMed:12114302). Higher levels of soluble sIL-15RA form in comparison with membrane-bound forms is present in all brain structures (PubMed:12114302). Isoforms 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9: Widely expressed (PubMed:10480910, PubMed:8530383).PTM N-glycosylated and O-glycosylated.PTM A soluble form (sIL-15RA) arises from proteolytic shedding of the membrane-anchored receptor (PubMed:15265897). It also binds IL-15 and thus interferes with IL-15 binding to the membrane receptor (PubMed:15265897).SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.
