appears_in: [] depends_on: [] deprecated: false description: The MEROPS database is an information resource for peptidases (also termed proteases, proteinases and proteolytic enzymes) and the proteins that inhibit them. These are hierarchically classified and assigned to a Family on the basis of statistically significant similarities in amino acid sequence. Families thought to be homologous are grouped together in a Clan. This collection references peptidase families. example: S1 homepage: http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/index.htm keywords: [] mappings: biocontext: MEROPS.FAMILY miriam: merops.family n2t: merops.family name: MEROPS Family namespace_in_lui: false part_of: merops pattern: ^[SCTAGMNU]\d+$ preferred_prefix: merops.family prefix: merops.family providers: [] publications: - doi: 10.1093/nar/gkx1134 pmc: PMC5753285 pubmed: '29145643' title: The MEROPS database of proteolytic enzymes, their substrates and inhibitors in 2017 and a comparison with peptidases in the PANTHER database year: 2018 references: - https://github.com/biopragmatics/bioregistry/issues/439 synonyms: [] uri_format: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/merops/cgi-bin/famsum?family=$1
