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 Converts guanidinoacetate to creatine, using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor (PubMed:24415674, PubMed:26003046, PubMed:26319512). Important in nervous system development (PubMed:24415674).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY guanidinoacetate + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = creatine + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H(+)PATHWAY Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; creatine biosynthesis; creatine from L-arginine and glycine: step 2/2.SUBUNIT Monomer.INTERACTION Expressed in liver.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. RMT2 methyltransferase family.
