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 Auxiliary subunit of the mechanotransducer (MET) non-specific cation channel complex located at the tips of stereocilia of cochlear hair cells and that mediates sensory transduction in the auditory system. The MET complex is composed of two dimeric pore-forming ion-conducting transmembrane TMC (TMC1 or TMC2) subunits, and aided by several auxiliary proteins including LHFPL5, TMIE, CIB2/3 and TOMT, and the tip-link PCDH15. May contribute to the formation of the pore.SUBUNIT Forms the MET channel composed of TMC (TMC1 or TMC2), TMIE, TOMT, CIB (CIB2 or CIB3), LHPL5 and PCDH15.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Expressed in many tissues.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
