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 Catalyzes the biosynthesis and metabolism of eicosanoids. Catalyzes the isomerization of prostaglandin H2 to prostacyclin (= prostaglandin I2), a potent mediator of vasodilation and inhibitor of platelet aggregation (PubMed:12372404, PubMed:15115769, PubMed:18032380, PubMed:25623425). Additionally, displays dehydratase activity, toward hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoates (HPETEs), especially toward (15S)-hydroperoxy-(5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-eicosatetraenoate (15(S)-HPETE) (PubMed:17459323).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY prostaglandin H2 = prostaglandin I2CATALYTIC ACTIVITY a hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoate = an oxoeicosatetraenoate + H2OCATALYTIC ACTIVITY (15S)-hydroperoxy-(5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-eicosatetraenoate = 15-oxo-(5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-eicosatetraenoate + H2OCATALYTIC ACTIVITY (15S)-hydroperoxy-(5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-eicosatetraenoate + AH2 = (15S)-hydroxy-(5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-eicosatetraenoate + A + H2OCOFACTOR Widely expressed; particularly abundant in ovary, heart, skeletal muscle, lung and prostate.DISEASE The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.ONLINE INFORMATION CYP8A1 alleles
