LipidMaps Get Gene
Look up a lipid-metabolism gene in the LIPID MAPS Proteome Database (LMPD). Resolves a gene to its LMPD record (gene name, synonyms, alternative names, chromosome, cytogenetic map location, NCBI summary, and species). Set input_item to the namespace of input_value: 'gene_symbol' (e.g. 'FASN'), 'gene_id' (NCBI Gene ID, e.g. '2194'), 'gene_name' (exact gene-name substring), or 'lmp_id' (LIPID MAPS protein id, e.g. 'LMP002507'). A gene_symbol may match multiple species (e.g. 'FASN' returns mouse L…
Overview
Look up a lipid-metabolism gene in the LIPID MAPS Proteome Database (LMPD). Resolves a gene to its LMPD record (gene name, synonyms, alternative names, chromosome, cytogenetic map location, NCBI summary, and species). Set input_item to the namespace of input_value: 'gene_symbol' (e.g. 'FASN'), 'gene_id' (NCBI Gene ID, e.g. '2194'), 'gene_name' (exact gene-name substring), or 'lmp_id' (LIPID MAPS protein id, e.g. 'LMP002507'). A gene_symbol may match multiple species (e.g. 'FASN' returns mouse LMP001577 and human LMP002507); all matches are returned as a list. Use this for lipid-related enzymes such as fatty acid synthase (FASN) or stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD). Complements the LipidMaps_get_compound_* structure tools, which cover lipids, not the genes/enzymes that make them.
