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 Involved in the targeting and/or fusion of transport vesicles to their target membrane during transport of proteins from the early endosome to the lysosome. Required for heterotypic fusion of late endosomes with lysosomes and homotypic lysosomal fusion. Required for calcium regulated lysosomal exocytosis. Involved in the export of chylomicrons from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cis Golgi. Required for exocytosis of mediators during eosinophil and neutrophil degranulation, and target cell killing by natural killer cells. Required for focal exocytosis of late endocytic vesicles during phagosome formation.SUBUNIT Component of the SNARE complex composed of STX4, SNAP23 and VAMP7 that binds SYT7 during lysosomal exocytosis. Component of the SNARE complex composed of STX7, STX8, VAMP7 and VTI1B that is required for heterotypic fusion of late endosomes with lysosomes. May interact with STX17 (By similarity). Interacts with PICALM (PubMed:23741335). Interacts with RAB21 (PubMed:25648148).INTERACTION In immature neurons expression is localized in vesicular structures in axons and dendrites while in mature neurons it is localized to the somatodendritic region. Colocalizes with LAMP1 in kidney cells. Localization to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane was observed in the intestine but not in liver or kidney (By similarity).ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Detected in all tissues tested.MISCELLANEOUS The gene coding for this protein is located in the pseudoautosomal region 2 (PAR2) of X and Y chromosomes.MISCELLANEOUS Loss-of-function mutant (antisense inhibition) displays impaired granzyme B release and target cell killing by natural killer cells.SIMILARITY Belongs to the synaptobrevin family.SEQUENCE CAUTION Sequence of unknown origin in the C-terminal part.
