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 Proton-coupled metal ion symporter operating with a proton to metal ion stoichiometry of 1:1 (PubMed:17109629, PubMed:17293870, PubMed:22736759, PubMed:25326704, PubMed:25491917). Selectively transports various divalent metal cations, in decreasing affinity: Cd(2+) > Fe(2+) > Co(2+), Mn(2+) >> Zn(2+), Ni(2+), VO(2+) (PubMed:17109629, PubMed:17293870, PubMed:22736759, PubMed:25326704, PubMed:25491917). Essential for maintenance of iron homeostasis by modulating intestinal absorption of dietary Fe(2+) and TF-associated endosomal Fe(2+) transport in erythroid precursors and other cells (By similarity). Enables Fe(2+) and Mn(2+) ion entry into mitochondria, and is thus expected to promote mitochondrial heme synthesis, iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis and antioxidant defense (By similarity) (PubMed:24448823). Can mediate uncoupled fluxes of either protons or metal ions.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Fe(2+)(in) + H(+)(in) = Fe(2+)(out) + H(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Fe(2+)(in) + H(+)(in) = Fe(2+)(out) + H(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Co(2+)(out) + H(+)(out) = Co(2+)(in) + H(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Cd(2+)(out) + H(+)(out) = Cd(2+)(in) + H(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Mn(2+)(in) + H(+)(in) = Mn(2+)(out) + H(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Zn(2+)(out) + H(+)(out) = Zn(2+)(in) + H(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Ni(2+)(out) + H(+)(out) = Ni(2+)(in) + H(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Fe(2+)(in) + H(+)(in) = Fe(2+)(out) + H(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Co(2+)(out) + H(+)(out) = Co(2+)(in) + H(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Cd(2+)(out) + H(+)(out) = Cd(2+)(in) + H(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Mn(2+)(in) + H(+)(in) = Mn(2+)(out) + H(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Zn(2+)(out) + H(+)(out) = Zn(2+)(in) + H(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Ni(2+)(out) + H(+)(out) = Ni(2+)(in) + H(+)(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY H(+)(in) = H(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Fe(2+)(in) = Fe(2+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Fe(2+)(in) + H(+)(in) = Fe(2+)(out) + H(+)(out)BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Optimum pH is 5.5-6.5 for Fe(2+) uptake.BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Forms a complex with NDFIP1 and NEDD4L, in cortical neurons, in response to iron and cobalt exposure; this interaction leads to SLC11A2 ubiquitination by NEDD4L and proteasome-dependent degradation (PubMed:19706893). Interacts with NDFIP1, NDFIP2 and WWP2; this interaction leads to SLC11A2 ubiquitination by WWP2 and subsequent proteasome-dependent degradation (By similarity). Interacts with COX2 and TOM6 at the outer mitochondrion membrane (PubMed:24448823). Interacts with ARRDC1; this interaction regulates the incorporation of SLC11A2 into extracellular vesicles through an ubiquitination-dependent mechanism (PubMed:27462458). Interacts with ARRDC4; controls the incorporation of SLC11A2 into extracellular vesicles through an ubiquitination-dependent mechanism (PubMed:27462458).INTERACTION Predominantly localizes in early endosomes that underlie the apical membrane of polarized epithelia.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Ubiquitously expressed. Expressed in erythroid progenitors.INDUCTION Up-regulated under iron-depletion conditions. Down-regulated in response to high extracellular iron levels.INDUCTION Up-regulated under iron-depletion conditions. Down-regulated in response to high extracellular iron levels.INDUCTION Up-regulated under iron-depletion conditions. Down-regulated in response to high extracellular iron levels.PTM Ubiquitinated by WWP2.PTM N-glycosylated.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.MISCELLANEOUS NRAMP2-mediated iron uptake is markedly stimulated by nifedipine in a concentration-dependent manner.SIMILARITY Belongs to the NRAMP family.CAUTION The capacity to transport copper ions remains controversial.
