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.

textDCT (also known as TYRP2) encodes L-dopachrome tautomerase, an enzyme involved in melanin biosynthesis that converts L-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (Jackson et al, 1992; Tsukamoto et al, 1992; Pennamen et al, 2021; Bouchard et al, 1994; reviewed in Cheli et al, 2010). Expression of DCT during melanogenesis is initially repressed through the combined actions of PAX3, LEF1 and TLE4 (Yasumoto et al, 2002; Ludwig et al, 2002; Lang et al, 2005). This repressive complex is replaced by MITF-M and SOX10 binding to cognate elements in the promoter concurrent with the recruitment of CTNNB1 in place of TLE4 (Yasumoto et al, 2002; Ludwig et al, 2002; Saito et al, 2002; Saito et al, 2003; Lang et al, 2005; reviewed in Cheli et al, 2010).
