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 Macrophage-specific antiporter that fluxes metal ions in either direction against a proton gradient. Localized to late endosomal lysosomal membranes, delivers bivalent cations from the cytosol into these acidic compartments where they may directly affect antimicrobial activity (PubMed:11237855). Involved in iron metabolism and host natural resistance to infection with intracellular parasites. Pathogen resistance involves sequestration of Fe(2+) and Mn(2+), cofactors of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic catalases and superoxide dismutases, not only to protect the macrophage against its own generation of reactive oxygen species, but to deny the cations to the pathogen for synthesis of its protective enzymes (Probable).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Zn(2+)(in) + H(+)(out) = Zn(2+)(out) + H(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Fe(2+)(in) + H(+)(out) = Fe(2+)(out) + H(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Mn(2+)(in) + H(+)(out) = Mn(2+)(out) + H(+)(in)SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Macrophages; peripheral blood leukocytes, lung, spleen and liver.INDUCTION In response to lymphokine or bacterial products.POLYMORPHISM Genetic variation in SLC11A1 is associated with susceptibility to infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans [MIM:610446].POLYMORPHISM Genetic variations in SLC11A1 determine Mycobacterium tuberculosis susceptibility [MIM:607948].SIMILARITY Belongs to the NRAMP family.
