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 degradation of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) generated by peroxisomal oxidases to water and oxygen, thereby protecting cells from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide (PubMed:7882369). Promotes growth of cells including T-cells, B-cells, myeloid leukemia cells, melanoma cells, mastocytoma cells and normal and transformed fibroblast cells (PubMed:7882369).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY 2 H2O2 = O2 + 2 H2OCOFACTOR Homotetramer (PubMed:10656833, PubMed:10666617, PubMed:21976670). Interacts (via microbody targeting signal) with PEX5, monomeric form interacts with PEX5, leading to its translocation into peroxisomes (PubMed:21976670).INTERACTION The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the catalase family.ONLINE INFORMATION Catalase entry
