KEGG Get Brite Hierarchy
Get the full hierarchical classification tree for a specific KEGG BRITE hierarchy in JSON format. Returns a nested tree structure where each node has a 'name' field and optionally a 'children' array of sub-nodes. This is extremely useful for functional classification of genes, proteins, enzymes, transporters, receptors, etc. Common hierarchies: 'ko01000' (Enzymes by EC number), 'ko01001' (Protein kinases), 'ko01002' (Peptidases and inhibitors), 'ko02000' (Transporters), 'ko03000' (Transcription…

The tree can be very large (e.g., ko00001 has thousands of entries).
