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.

textThe cytosolic enzyme sphingosine kinase 2 (SPHK2) catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingoids (SPG) to sphingoid 1-phosphate (S1P). The main product is sphingosine 1-phosphate, a bioactive lipid that acts extracellularly on G protein-coupled receptors of the S1P1/EDG-1 subfamily (Liu et al., 2000; reviewed by Siow & Wattenberg, 2011). Through alternative splicing, the isoforms of SK2a and SK2b are produced that show functional differences in their activity (reviewed by Hatoum et al., 2017). In contrast to pro-survival SPHK1, the BH3-only protein SPHK2 inhibits cell growth and enhances apoptosis (Maceyka et al., 2005).
