UniProt is the world’s leading high-quality, comprehensive and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional information. Cite UniProt
The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is the central hub for the collection of functional information on proteins, with accurate, consistent and rich annotation. In addition to capturing the core data mandatory for each UniProtKB entry (mainly, the amino acid sequence, protein name or description, taxonomic data and citation information), as much annotation information as possible is added.

UniProt provides a central hub for the collection of functional information on proteins, with accurate and consistent annotation.
About UniProt. The mission of UniProt is to provide the scientific community with a comprehensive, high quality and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional information.
Since July 2021, we are providing a new API to access UniProt's data and tools. This replaces the
UniProt is a freely accessible database of protein sequence and functional information, many entries being derived from genome sequencing projects.It contains a large amount of information about the biological function of proteins derived from the research literature. It is maintained by the UniProt consortium, which consists of several European bioinformatics organisations and a foundation from Washington, DC, USA.
The UniProtKB database contains individual protein entries that provide detailed information about the protein. At the top of the page, you can see the UniProt entry accession and name, the name of the protein and gene, the organism, whether the protein entry has been manually reviewed by a UniProt curator, its annotation score, and the evidence level for its existence.
To explore and try out the ID Mapping services, please refer to: The ID Mapping website tool; Overview. The ID Mapping service can map between the identifiers used in one database, to the identifiers of another, e.g., from UniProt to Ensembl, or to PomBase, etc.
Tutorial/Video. Select the Align tab of the toolbar to align two or more protein sequences with the Clustal Omega program (cf also this ClustalO FAQ):. Enter either protein sequences in FASTA format or UniProt identifiers into the form field. Click the Run Align button.; The following kinds of UniProt identifiers are supported:
