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.

textMelanocortins are a group of pituitary peptide hormones that include corticotropin (ACTH) and the alpha, beta and gamma melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSH) derived from the prohormone proopiomelanocortin (Takahashi H et al, 1981). Melanocortins can act through multiple melanocortin receptors (MC1R-MC5R) (Mountjoy KG et al, 1992). The majority of melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R) are semi-selective in their ability to bind multiple melanocortins (MSH and ACTH). MSH regulates pigmentation.
