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 Probably involved in the regulation of pre-mRNA splicing.SUBUNIT Interacts with EFTUD2, a component of the spliceosome U5 complex (PubMed:32703943). Interacts with DDX41, a component of the spliceosome C complex (PubMed:32703943).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Widely expressed in fetal and adult tissues. Mostly abundant in fetal brain, liver and kidney; in the adult, high levels were also observed in heart, skeletal muscle, spleen, thymus, prostate and small intestine. Expressed in fetal cerebellum and hypothalamus. Low expression is observed in fetal temporal lobe (PubMed:32703943).DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the FAM50 family.
