MetaCyc is a curated database of experimentally elucidated metabolic pathways from all domains of life. MetaCyc contains 2526 pathways from 2844 different organisms. MetaCyc contains pathways involved in both primary and secondary metabolism, as well as associated metabolites, reactions, enzymes, and genes. The goal of MetaCyc is to catalog the universe of metabolism by storing a representative sample of each experimentally elucidated pathway.

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 7 mappings to external registries with 5 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 CPD-10330 is used to demonstrate the providers available for MetaCyc Compound. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
