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.

textUrotensin-II (U2) is a vasoactive 'somatostatin-like' cyclic peptide originally isolated from fish spinal cords. It was found to activate GPR14 later renamed Urotensin II receptor (U2R).
U2 is the most potent known vasoconstrictor. A second ligand for U2R, urotensin-related peptide or Urotensin 2B, was identified as an extract from rat brains, and shown to activate rat and human U2R.
