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 SNARE promoting movement of transport vesicles to target membranes. Targets endosomes to the trans-Golgi network, and may therefore function in retrograde trafficking. Together with SNARE STX12, promotes movement of vesicles from endosomes to the cell membrane, and may therefore function in the endocytic recycling pathway.SUBUNIT Identified in a complex containing STX6, STX12, VAMP4 and VTI1A (PubMed:17159904). Binds EEA1 (By similarity). Interacts with VPS45A (By similarity). Interacts with MARCHF2; the interaction promotes MARCHF2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of CFTR (PubMed:23818989). Interacts with MARCHF3 (By similarity). Interacts with GOPC (PubMed:11384996). Interacts with BLTP3B (via C-terminal coiled-coil domain) (PubMed:20163565, PubMed:35499567). Interacts with BAIAP3; this interaction is increased in the presence of calcium (PubMed:28626000). Interacts with VPS13B (By similarity).INTERACTION Belongs to the syntaxin family.
