ScanProsite Scan Protein
Scan a protein against the PROSITE database of protein motifs, domains, and families. Given a UniProt accession (e.g., P04637 for TP53, P01308 for insulin), identifies all PROSITE pattern matches in the protein sequence. Returns matched PROSITE signature accessions and IDs with start/end positions. PROSITE is part of the ExPASy/SIB suite and contains 1,800+ patterns and profiles for protein functional sites and domains. Essential for identifying conserved motifs like zinc fingers, kinase activa…
Overview
Scan a protein against the PROSITE database of protein motifs, domains, and families. Given a UniProt accession (e.g., P04637 for TP53, P01308 for insulin), identifies all PROSITE pattern matches in the protein sequence. Returns matched PROSITE signature accessions and IDs with start/end positions. PROSITE is part of the ExPASy/SIB suite and contains 1,800+ patterns and profiles for protein functional sites and domains. Essential for identifying conserved motifs like zinc fingers, kinase activation loops, or receptor binding sites. Note: only patterns (PS00xxx) are scanned; profile matches require the ScanProsite web interface.
