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.

textVanin (VNN1) is a membrane pantetheine hydrolase or pantetheinase (EC 3.56.1.-) (Maras et al. 1999, Martin et al. 2001), part of a cluster of three human orthologous genes (VNN1, VNN2, VNN3) on Chr. 6q22-24 (Kaskow et al. 2012, Boersma et al. 2014). VNN3 is a pseudogene in humans. Vanins catalyse the hydrolysis of pantetheine to pantothenic acid (PanK, vitamin B5) and cysteamine (2AET), a powerful anti-oxidant. PanK is the initial substrate for the synthesis of Coenzyme A (CoA-SH).

Mouse Vnn1 has been shown to be GPI-anchored to the outer face of the plasma membrane. Sequence motifs conserved with human VNN1 and VNN2 supports the inference that the human proteins are similarly anchored (Aurand-Lions et al. 1996; Naquet et al. 2020), so the enzymes are annotated as acting on extracellular panthetheine to generate extracellular PanK and 2AET.
