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 Acts in vitro to stimulate the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (PubMed:8612563). Binds with high affinity to CRF receptor types 1, 2-alpha, and 2-beta (PubMed:8612563). Plays a role in the establishment of normal hearing thresholds (By similarity). Reduces food intake and regulates ghrelin levels in gastric body and plasma (By similarity).SUBUNIT Interacts with CRHR1 and CRHR2 (via their N-terminal extracellular domain).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Keratinocytes in epidermis and the outer and inner root sheaths of hair follicles, epithelium of sebaceous and sweat glands, erector pili muscle, cutaneous blood vessel walls, cutaneous nerves and dermal mononuclear cells (PubMed:10690896). Detected in plasma cells in the lamia propria in colon mucosa (PubMed:15531481) (at protein level). Expressed in pituitary and adrenal glands (PubMed:10690896). Detected in plasma cells in the lamia propria in colon mucosa (PubMed:15531481).MISCELLANEOUS Positive correlation between increased expression in colonic lamina propria and severity of inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis.SIMILARITY Belongs to the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family.
