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 Mediates the electrogenic exchange of Ca(2+) against Na(+) ions across the cell membrane, and thereby contributes to the regulation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels and Ca(2+)-dependent cellular processes. Contributes to cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis in excitable cells. Contributes to the rapid decrease of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels back to baseline after neuronal activation, and thereby contributes to modulate synaptic plasticity, learning and memory. Plays a role in regulating urinary Ca(2+) and Na(+) excretion.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Ca(2+)(in) + 3 Na(+)(out) = Ca(2+)(out) + 3 Na(+)(in)ACTIVITY REGULATION Calcium transport is down-regulated by Na(+) and stimulated by Ca(2+).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION The cytoplasmic Calx-beta domains bind the regulatory Ca(2+). The first Calx-beta domain can bind up to four Ca(2+) ions. The second domain can bind another two Ca(2+) ions that are essential for calcium-regulated ion exchange.SIMILARITY Belongs to the Ca(2+):cation antiporter (CaCA) (TC 2.A.19) family. SLC8 subfamily.
