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.

textPhospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes hydrolyze arachidonic acid (AA) from the sn-2 position of phospholipids. AA is a precursor of eicosanoids, lipid mediators involved in inflammtory responses. PLA2 enzymes function as regulators of phospholipid acyl turnover, either as housekeepers for membrane repair or for the production of imflammatory lipid mediators. There are diverse forms of PLA2 enyzmes including secretory (sPLA2), calcium-independent and cytosolic (cPLA2). The cPLA2 form which mediates arachidonic acid release is annotated here.
