KEGG Convert Ids

Convert KEGG gene/compound identifiers to external database IDs using the KEGG /conv API. Maps KEGG gene IDs (e.g., hsa:7157 for TP53) to UniProt, NCBI Gene, NCBI Protein, ChEBI, or PubChem IDs. Essential for cross-database integration in bioinformatics workflows. Example: converting hsa:7157 to UniProt returns P04637 (TP53_HUMAN).
