The protein entries in the Entrez search and retrieval system have
been compiled from a variety of sources, including SwissProt, PIR, PRF,
PDB, and translations from annotated coding regions in GenBank and RefSeq.
Additional protein information
In addition to Protein sequences, other protein-related information
is available via Entrez. Search the
Structure
database by choosing, "Structure" from the Entrez pull down menu,
Conserved Domains Database
(CDD) by choosing, "Domains", and
3D Domains
by choosing, the "3D Domains" option.
Retrieve taxonomy information
The Entrez protein database is cross-linked to the
Entrez taxonomy database
. This allows you to find taxonomy information for the species from
which a protein sequence was derived. First, look up a protein
in Entrez. A "Taxonomy" link appears to the right of each entry that
is linked to the Entrez taxonomy database. To view all non-redundant
taxonomy links for a search result, select "Taxonomy Links" from
the drop-down menu above the search results and click on the
"Display" button to the left of that menu.
