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 Plays an important role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis and the promotion of mucosal healing. Promotes VEGF-dependent neovascularization (By similarity). Contributes to phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells in many tissues. Specific ligand for the alpha-v/beta-3 and alpha-v/beta-5 receptors. Also binds to phosphatidylserine-enriched cell surfaces in a receptor-independent manner. Zona pellucida-binding protein which may play a role in gamete interaction.FUNCTION Main constituent of aortic medial amyloid.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Located in the acrosomal region of zona-pellucida bound sperm.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Mammary epithelial cell surfaces and aortic media. Overexpressed in several carcinomas.DOMAIN The F5/8 type C 2 domain mediates high-affinity binding to phosphatidylserine-containing membranes.PTM Medin has a ragged N-terminus with minor species starting at Pro-264 and Gly-273.MISCELLANEOUS It is unsure whether Met-1 or an upstream Met is the initiator as the upstream Met corresponds to polymorphism rs1879326.
