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 Catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to form pyruvate and glutamate. Participates in cellular nitrogen metabolism and also in liver gluconeogenesis starting with precursors transported from skeletal muscles (By similarity).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate = pyruvate + L-glutamateCOFACTOR Amino-acid degradation; L-alanine degradation via transaminase pathway; pyruvate from L-alanine: step 1/1.SUBUNIT Homodimer.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Liver, kidney, heart, and skeletal muscles. Expressed at moderate levels in the adipose tissue.INDUCTION By glucocorticoids.SIMILARITY Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. Alanine aminotransferase subfamily.ONLINE INFORMATION Alanine transaminase entry
