OmniPath Get Intercell Roles
Get intercellular communication roles for proteins from OmniPath. Classifies proteins as ligands, receptors, transmembrane proteins, secreted factors, or extracellular matrix components based on evidence from 40+ databases. Returns functional categories (ligand/receptor/adhesion/transporter), locational annotations (secreted/transmembrane/peripheral), consensus scores, and supporting databases. Critical for identifying which genes act as senders vs receivers in cell-cell communication. Example:…
Overview
Get intercellular communication roles for proteins from OmniPath. Classifies proteins as ligands, receptors, transmembrane proteins, secreted factors, or extracellular matrix components based on evidence from 40+ databases. Returns functional categories (ligand/receptor/adhesion/transporter), locational annotations (secreted/transmembrane/peripheral), consensus scores, and supporting databases. Critical for identifying which genes act as senders vs receivers in cell-cell communication. Example: querying EGFR shows it is classified as 'receptor' by 10 databases with consensus_score 7, plasma_membrane_transmembrane=true; querying TGFB1 shows it is a 'ligand' (secreted=true, transmitter=true).
