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.

| text | ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 5 (ABCG5 aka sterolin-1), is a "half transporter", that forms a complex with another half transporter ABCG8 (aka sterolin-2) in the endoplasmic reticulum. This complex translocates to the plasma membrane to mediate the ATP-dependent intestinal absorption and facilitation of biliary secretion of cholesterol and phytosterols (eg sitosterol). Defects in either of these half transporters result in loss of enterocyte discrimination between cholesterol and sitosterol causing sterol accumulation and predisposition for atherosclerosis. Defects in ABCG5 are the cause of sitosterolemia (MIM:210250), characterised by unrestricted intestinal absorption of both cholesterol and plant-derived sterols causing hypercholesterolemia and premature coronary atherosclerosis. Mutations causing sitosterolemia include R408*, R243*, R389H, R419H, Q16* and R446* (Berge et al. 2000, Lee et al. 2001, Rios et al. 2010, Mannucci et al. 2007). |
