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 hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs into free fatty acids and coenzyme A (CoASH), regulating their respective intracellular levels. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytanoyl-CoA and pristanoyl-CoA, two methyl-branched fatty acids derived from phytol, that enter the body via the diet.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY pristanoyl-CoA + H2O = 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecanoate + CoA + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY phytanoyl-CoA + H2O = 3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecanoate + CoA + H(+)PATHWAY Lipid metabolism; fatty acid metabolism.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Localization to the peroxisome is uncertain since the potential C-terminal peroxisome targeting signal found in the mouse ortholog is not perfectly conserved.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Recombinant N-terminally GFP-tagged protein localizes to the cytosol.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Belongs to the C/M/P thioester hydrolase family.
