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 Envelope glycoprotein necessary for proper maturation of gM and modulation of its membrane fusion activity. Also plays a critical role in virion morphogenesis.SUBUNIT Interacts (via N-terminus) with gM (via N-terminus). The gM-gN heterodimer forms the gCII complex.INTERACTION When coexpressed with gM, localizes in the host trans-Golgi network.PTM O-glycosylated (By similarity). Contains alpha 2,6-sialic acid residues (By similarity). N-glycosylated.SIMILARITY Belongs to the herpesviridae glycoprotein N family.
