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 Transports Zn(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi apparatus to the cytosol, playing an essential role in the regulation of cytosolic zinc levels (PubMed:14525538, PubMed:15705588, PubMed:28205653, PubMed:29980658). Acts as a gatekeeper of zinc release from intracellular stores, requiring post-translational activation by phosphorylation, resulting in activation of multiple downstream pathways leading to cell growth and proliferation (PubMed:22317921, PubMed:28205653, PubMed:29980658). Has an essential role in B cell development and is required for proper B cell receptor signaling (PubMed:30718914). Plays an important role in maintaining intestinal epithelial homeostasis and skin dermis development by regulating ER function (By similarity). Controls cell signaling pathways involved in glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle (By similarity). Has a protective role against ER stress in different biological contexts (PubMed:29980658, PubMed:30237509). Mediates Zn(2+)-induced ferroptosis (PubMed:33608508).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Zn(2+)(in) = Zn(2+)(out)ACTIVITY REGULATION Phosphorylation activates zinc transport activity.SUBUNIT Homodimer.INTERACTION Widely expressed.INDUCTION Down-regulated by Zn(+2).PTM Rapidly phosphorylated by CK2 following Zn(2+) treatment. This phosphorylation is required for efficient cytosolic Zn(2+) release.PTM Methylation at some His residue by METTL9 leads to reduced zinc-binding.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family. KE4/Catsup subfamily.
