List Of Genes Involved In Metabolic Pathway

Hi!

I was wondering if their was a way to get a list of genes involved in metabolic pathways (KEGG or any other repository).

Just to be more clear, I am talking about the genes in reference pathway http://www.genome.jp/kegg/pathway/map/map01100.html

Kindly let me, how can I get this list.

thank you

Yes, asked, answered and discussed very recently. It's always a good first step to search the site for similar questions before posting.

Yeah, well that page does not say anything about extracting the genes involved in metabolic pathways (if you can only tell me the hsaXXXXX code to get the genes cited in metabolic pathways I will be more than happy). Just to be more clear I am talking about the genes in reference pathway (Metabolic Pathways). http://www.genome.jp/kegg/pathway/map/map01100.html

The reference pathway (1) by definition is not linked to any particular organism and (2) is an overview of all metabolism and hence, pretty much all genes. So what you are asking is not especially sensible.

MetabolicMine has a template that does it: http://metabolicmine.org/beta/template.do?name=PathwayGenes&scope=all

There are a number of ways to do this via MetaCyc or other databases in the BioCyc collection, including:

  1. Go to a pathway page and then click the Download Genes command in the right-sidebar menu
  2. If you create a SmartTable containing one or more pathways, and then choose "Genes of pathway" from the Transforms menu above, you will get a table showing all genes present in each of the pathways.
