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. 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase type 2 (BDH2 aka DHRS6) is a cytosolic, tetrameric enzyme that may have a (as yet undetermined) physiological role in ketone body metabolism, either for energy supply or to generate precursors for lipid and sterol synthesis. The KB substrate (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (3HBA) is dehydrogenated into acetoacetate (ACA) which can be further metabolised to acetyl-CoA (Guo et al. 2006). |
