How do I extract information from UniProt?
Select the Retrieve/ID mapping tab of the toolbar and enter or upload a list of identifiers (or gene names) to do one of the following: Retrieve the corresponding UniProt entries to download them or work with them on this website.
What are UniProt identifiers?
The proteome identifier (UPID) is the unique identifier assigned to the set of proteins that constitute the proteome. It consists of the characters ‘UP’ followed by 9 digits, is stable across releases and can therefore be used to cite a UniProt proteome. UniProtKB entries can be linked to one or more UPIDs.
How many sequences are in UniProt?

- Click on the desired gene.
- Click on Reference Sequences in the Table of Contents at the upper right of the gene record.
Is UniProt a primary database?
Uniprot was originally formulated as a primary database for protein sequences and functional annotation based on experimental evidence. Nowadays it combines a network of sister databases centralising all levels of annotation produced for protein sequences.
What is UniProt KB?
The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is the central hub for the collection of functional information on proteins, with accurate, consistent and rich annotation.
