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 Component of the large ribosomal subunit (PubMed:12962325, PubMed:23636399, PubMed:25901680, PubMed:25957688, PubMed:32669547). The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell (PubMed:12962325, PubMed:23636399, PubMed:25901680, PubMed:25957688, PubMed:32669547).SUBUNIT Component of the large ribosomal subunit (PubMed:12962325, PubMed:23636399, PubMed:25901680, PubMed:25957688, PubMed:32669547).INTERACTION Detected on cytosolic polysomes (PubMed:25957688). Detected in ribosomes that are associated with the rough endoplasmic reticulum (By similarity).ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the eukaryotic ribosomal protein eL18 family.
