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 Myosins are actin-based motor molecules with ATPase activity. Unconventional myosins serve in intracellular movements. Regulates Rho by stimulating its GTPase activity in neurons. Required for the regulation of neurite branching and motor neuron axon guidance (By similarity).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Localized in the cytoplasm of cell bodies, dendrites and axons with occasional hints of an enrichment near the plasma membrane. Localized at the neuromuscular junction (By similarity).ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Found to be expressed in testis and placenta and at lower levels in all the examined tissues with the exception of liver (PubMed:10409426). Isoform 5: Found in leukocytes but not in brain, retina or testis (PubMed:10409426).PTM Phosphorylated by ALPK1 following monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU)-induced inflammation.DISEASE The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.MISCELLANEOUS Lacks the ATP-binding domain which suggests that it cannot interact with actin.SIMILARITY Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family.CAUTION Represents an unconventional myosin. This protein should not be confused with the conventional myosin-9 (MYH9).SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated N-terminus.
