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 effects of paracetamol (APAP) poisoning can be reversed by administration of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) within 15hrs of APAP intake. This treatment is effective in preventing liver damage, hepatic failure, renal damage, and death (Prescott et al. 1977, Prescott 1981). NAC provides L-cysteine (L-Cys) for the formation of the tripeptide glutathione, which can conjugate the reactive APAP metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinine imine (NAPQI), thereby reducing damage. NAC is thought to be deacetylated to L-Cys by aminocylase 1 (ACY1), a dimeric enzyme highly expressed in the kidneys (Stocker et al. 2012, review Pedre et al. 2021).
