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 | Ketone bodies (KBs) are an energy source utilised by mammals, the terminal oxidation of which (termed ketogenesis) is most active during fasting states or starvation. This process normally occurs in the mitochondria of cells. Cytoplasmic de novo lipogenesis and cholesterol synthesis are nonoxidative metabolic fates of ketone bodies. Acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase (AACS) mediates the activation of acetoacetate (ACA) to the KB acetoacetyl-CoA (ACA-CoA) in the cytosol of cells of lipogenic tissues (Aquilo et al. 2010). AACS is proposed to provide an alternative supply of acetyl units from that of mitochondrial ketogenesis for de novo lipogenesis and cholesterol synthesis in the brain, based on rat experiments (Endemann et al. 1982, review Cotter et al. 2013). Human AACS mRNA is abundant in the kidney, heart and brain, but low in liver (Ohgami et al. 2003). |
