NCBIProtein Get Summary
Get protein record summary from the NCBI Protein database by GI number or accession using the E-utilities ESummary API. Returns protein title, organism, accession version, sequence length, molecular type, source database, and creation/update dates. NCBI Protein aggregates sequences from GenBank, RefSeq, Swiss-Prot, PDB, and other sources. Use for resolving NCBI protein GI numbers to names, accessions, and species. Example: GI 119395750 returns 'keratin, type II cytoskeletal 1 [Homo sapiens]' wi…
