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 Inhibits the complement component of the host innate immune response. Regulates host C3 convertases, accelerating their decay, and acts as a cofactor for factor I degradation of C4b and C3b. Also binds heparin, and therefore may play two distinct roles when incorporated in virion membranes: immune evasion and host cell binding.
