Your search may be correct as Reactome does not yet have complete coverage of human biology. But before concluding that there is no content relevant to your query, please check that your search is formatted appropriately:

The search bar on Reactome’s homepage takes a variety of inputs including but not limited to: HGNC gene names, protein names, identifiers from Uniprot, ChEBI or other resources, and simple word or phrase searches (“glucose”; “signaling by ERBB2”; “Li Fraumeni syndrome”). 

Multiple search terms separated by a space may be entered in a single query; the results will be the total hits generated by each of the terms searched independently. Use of other punctuation (slashes, commas) may not yield full results and are better avoided.

To search for an exact match, enclose your search term(s) in quotation marks.

Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) may also be used in formatting a search.

Wild cards may be used to expand your search:

  • ? represents one character e.g. A1?? Matches both A1CF and A1BG
  • * represents n characters e.g. *A1* matches A1CF, A1BG and A1A4E9; also VWA1, ATP1A1

When entering a database identifier, more accurate results will be generated if the search term is formatted using the syntax database:id (for instance, uniprot:P60484). For complex database names like Guide to Pharmacology, replace spaces with dashes (Guide-to-Pharmacology:7382)

Hits of a successful search indicate that the search term is included somewhere in the identified record. This may be identification of a physical entity or event that directly involves the search term, but the search term may also be used in an event summary or as part of an associated literature reference, for example.
