Registry Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins Provider

STRING (Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins) is a database of known and predicted protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations; they are derived from four sources:Genomic Context, High-throughput Experiments,(Conserved) Coexpression, Previous Knowledge. STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between these organisms where applicable.

This resource is a provider. This means that while it may have its own prefix, it actually reuses the identifiers provided by the uniprot prefix. For all use cases, you should use uniprot instead of string.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins should match this regular expression:
^([A-N,R-Z][0-9][A-Z][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][0-9])|([O,P,Q][0-9][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][0-9])|([0-9][A-Za-z0-9]{3})$

Example Local Unique Identifier
P53350   Resolve
Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins should match this regular expression:
^string:([A-N,R-Z][0-9][A-Z][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][0-9])|([O,P,Q][0-9][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][A-Z, 0-9][0-9])|([0-9][A-Za-z0-9]{3})$

Example CURIE
string:P53350
