CATH is a classification of protein structural domains. We group protein domains into superfamilies when there is sufficient evidence they have diverged from a common ancestor. CATH can be used to predict structural and functional information directly from protein sequence.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local unique identifiers in CATH Protein Structural Domain Superfamily should match this regular expression:
^[1-6]\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

1.10.8.10   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from CATH Protein Structural Domain Superfamily should match this regular expression:
^cath:[1-6]\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$

Example CURIE

cath:1.10.8.10

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 8 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 1.10.8.10 is used to demonstrate the providers available for CATH Protein Structural Domain Superfamily. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. 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.
