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.

textAcyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), located on the ER membrane, is the terminal enzyme of the liver microsomal stearyl-CoA desaturase system and is the rate-limiting enzyme in the cellular synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) from saturated fatty acids. SCD utilises O2 and electrons from reduced ferrocytochrome b5 (Fe(2+)Cb5) to catalyse the insertion of a double bond into a range of fatty acyl-CoA substrates. This example shows stearoyl-CoA (ST-CoA) desaturation to oleoyl-CoA (OLE-CoA) (Li et al. 1994, Zhang et al. 1999). Studies of tagged recombinant enzyme overexpressed in transiently transfected cells suggest that the enzyme forms dimers and higher oligomers (Zhang et al. 2005).
