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 Gatekeeper of meiotic initiation in both male and female germ cells. In complex with STRA8, directly activates the transcription of a subset of critical meiotic genes playing a central role in cell-cycle switching from mitosis to meiosis. Temporal expression of MEIOSIN is required for meiotic entry decision.SUBUNIT Interacts with STRA8.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Contains a degenerate basic motif not likely to bind DNA.
