UniProt Search

Search UniProtKB database with flexible query syntax. Returns protein entries with accession numbers and metadata. Query syntax supports: field searches (gene:TP53, organism_id:9606, reviewed:true), ranges (length:[100 TO 500], mass:[20000 TO 50000]), wildcards (gene:MEIOB*), boolean operators (AND/OR/NOT), and parentheses for grouping. Examples: 'gene:TP53 AND organism_id:9606', 'length:[400 TO 500] AND reviewed:true', 'tissue:brain NOT organism_id:10090'.
