The database details a comprehensive IUBMB approved classification system for membrane transport proteins known as the Transporter Classification (TC) system. The TC system is analogous to the Enzyme Commission (EC) system for classification of enzymes, but incorporates phylogenetic information additionally.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Transporter Classification Database should match this regular expression:
^\d+(\.[A-Z])?(\.\d+)?(\.\d+)?(\.\d+)?$

Example Local Unique Identifier

5.A.1.1.1   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Transporter Classification Database should match this regular expression:
^tcdb:\d+(\.[A-Z])?(\.\d+)?(\.\d+)?(\.\d+)?$

Example CURIE

tcdb:5.A.1.1.1

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 10 mappings to external registries for this resource with 7 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 5.A.1.1.1 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Transporter Classification Database. 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.
