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 Catalyzes the first reaction in the catabolism of the essential branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-leucine + 2-oxoglutarate = 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + L-glutamateCATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-isoleucine + 2-oxoglutarate = (S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + L-glutamateCATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-valine + 2-oxoglutarate = 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + L-glutamateCOFACTOR The branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase, activity is inhibited by anticonvulsant drug gabapentin.SUBUNIT Homodimer.INTERACTION During embryogenesis, expressed in the brain and kidney. Overexpressed in MYC-induced tumors such as Burkitt's lymphoma.SIMILARITY Belongs to the class-IV pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
