PROSITE Get Entry
Retrieve a PROSITE protein motif/domain entry by its accession number. Returns the entry name, description, type (PATTERN or MATRIX/profile), consensus pattern, functional site annotations, cross-references to UniProt proteins, and documentation links. PROSITE (ExPASy/SIB) contains 1,800+ patterns and profiles describing protein domains, families, and functional sites. Pattern accessions start with PS000xx (e.g., PS00001 for N-glycosylation, PS00028 for zinc finger C2H2). Use this to understand…
Overview
Retrieve a PROSITE protein motif/domain entry by its accession number. Returns the entry name, description, type (PATTERN or MATRIX/profile), consensus pattern, functional site annotations, cross-references to UniProt proteins, and documentation links. PROSITE (ExPASy/SIB) contains 1,800+ patterns and profiles describing protein domains, families, and functional sites. Pattern accessions start with PS000xx (e.g., PS00001 for N-glycosylation, PS00028 for zinc finger C2H2). Use this to understand what a PROSITE motif means after finding it via ScanProsite_scan_protein.
