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.

textMelatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a natural hormone produced by the pineal gland that is involved in the regulation of circadian rhythms. These actions are mediated by melatonin receptors. Melatonin can also function as a powerful antioxidant in the protection of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA.There are two melatonin receptors in humans, MT1 (Mel1a, MTNR1A) and MT2 (Mel1b, MTNR1B). Their actions are mediated by coupling with the G protein alpha i/o subunits to inhibit adenylyl cyclase (Reppert SM et al, 1994: Reppert SM et al, 1995).
