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 Calcium, potassium:sodium antiporter that transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) to the melanosome in exchange for 4 cytoplasmic Na(+) (PubMed:18166528). Involved in pigmentation, possibly by participating in ion transport in melanosomes (PubMed:16357253, PubMed:18166528). Predominant sodium-calcium exchanger in melanocytes (PubMed:16357253, PubMed:18166528).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Ca(2+)(out) + K(+)(out) + 4 Na(+)(in) = Ca(2+)(in) + K(+)(in) + 4 Na(+)(out)INTERACTION Enriched in late-stage melanosomes.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Genetic variants in SLC24A5 define the skin/hair/eye pigmentation variation locus 4 (SHEP4) [MIM:113750]. Hair, eye and skin pigmentation are among the most visible examples of human phenotypic variation, with a broad normal range that is subject to substantial geographic stratification. In the case of skin, individuals tend to have lighter pigmentation with increasing distance from the equator. By contrast, the majority of variation in human eye and hair color is found among individuals of European ancestry, with most other human populations fixed for brown eyes and black hair.POLYMORPHISM The Ala-111 allele predominates (93 to 100%) in African and East Asian populations. In contrast, the Thr-111 allele is nearly fixed (98.7 to 100%) in European populations, is associated with a substantial reduction in regional heterozygosity, and correlates with lighter skin pigmentation in admixed populations.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the Ca(2+):cation antiporter (CaCA) (TC 2.A.19) family. SLC24A subfamily.ONLINE INFORMATION Skin-deep - Issue 74 of September 2006
