The UniProt Archive (UniParc) is a database containing non-redundant protein sequence information from many sources. Each unique sequence is given a stable and unique identifier (UPI) making it possible to identify the same protein from different source databases.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in UniProt Archive should match this regular expression:
^UPI[A-F0-9]{10}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

UPI000000000A   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from UniProt Archive should match this regular expression:
^uniparc:UPI[A-F0-9]{10}$

Example CURIE

uniparc:UPI000000000A

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 7 mappings to external registries for this resource with 3 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier UPI000000000A is used to demonstrate the providers available for UniProt Archive. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
