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.

textProstaglandin E2 (PGE2) is the most abundant prostanoid in the body and is a major mediator of inflammation in diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The product of arachidonate, prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) serves as the substrate for the isomerization to PGE2. The conversion is carried out by prostaglandin E synthases. Of the three forms, two are predominanly cytosolic. Prostaglandin E synthase 3 (PTGES3) is also called cytosolic prostaglandin E2 synthase (cPGES). Prostaglandin E synthase 2 (mPGES-2, PTGES2) is synthesized as a Golgi membrane-associated protein which undergoes a spontaneous cleavage of the N-terminal hydrophobic domain leading to a truncated mature cytosolic protein.
