The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is a comprehensive resource for protein sequence and functional information with extensive cross-references to more than 120 external databases. Besides amino acid sequence and a description, it also provides taxonomic data and citation information. This entry represents UniProt mnemonics which combine an alphanumeric representation the protein name and a species identification code representing the biological source of the protein.

Example Local Unique Identifier

BRAF_HUMAN   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from UniProt should match this regular expression:
^uniprot\.mnemonic:[A-Z0-9]{1,10}_[A-Z0-9]{1,5}$

Example CURIE

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 1 mappings to external registries for this resource with 1 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 BRAF_HUMAN is used to demonstrate the providers available for UniProt. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
