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.

textThe inactive Protein Kinase A (PKA) complex contains 2 regulatory subunits and 2 catalytic subunits. Binding of the regulatory subunits to the catalytic subunits maintains inactivity. In humans there are 3 different catalytic subunits and 4 different regulatory subunits. The particular subunits present in the beta cells of the pancreas are unknown. In beta cells PKA is associated with AKAP79 and IQGAP1, which are believed to tether PKA to the inner surface of the plasma membrane.
Activation by cAMP occurs when each regulatory subunit binds 2 molecules of cAMP, causing dissociation of the catalytic subunits. The active catalytic subunits are thereby released to phosphorylate their target proteins.
Prolonged exposure to increased cAMP levels results in translocation of the active catalytic subunits to the nucleus, where they regulate the PDX-1 and CREB transcription factors and cause increased transcription of the insulin gene.
