Pathway Summary

Genes Involved

Genes whose products participate in this pathway, with their systematic names, EC numbers (where the gene product is an enzyme with an assigned EC number), and the gene's SGD description.

Functional Networks

Functional Networks show how the genes in this pathway work together: a graph linking the pathway to its genes and their shared GO biological-process terms and phenotype observables, and the GO-CAM causal activity models that involve these genes.

Shared Annotations

GO-CAMs

GO-CAM (Gene Ontology Causal Activity Model) pathway models that involve the genes in this pathway. A gene can participate in more than one model, so use the dropdown to switch between them; the model for this pathway is shown by default.

GO Enrichment

Gene Ontology biological-process terms enriched among the genes in this pathway, computed with GO Term Finder. Terms are shown with the number of pathway genes annotated to them and the corrected p-value.
