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 pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) (Ohkubo S et al, 1992) is a peptide hormone similar to vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). PACAP functions as a hypophysiotropic hormone, neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. Three active peptides are cleaved from the precursor protein; PACAP-related peptide, PACAP-27 and PACAP-38. The effects of the PACAP peptides are mediated by the PACAP receptor (Ogi K et al, 1993). This receptor is predominantly expressed in the CNS. The activity of the receptor is mediated by coupling with the G protein alpha s subunit, which stimulates adenylyl cyclase which increases intracellular cAMP levels (Ogi K et al, 1993).
