The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) is a comprehensive resource for protein sequence and annotation data. The UniProt databases are the UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB), the UniProt Reference Clusters (UniRef), and the UniProt Archive (UniParc).

UniProt Technical Information: https://www.uniprot.org/help/technical.

Examples of records from FDA GSRS (Global Substance Registration System) using UniProt Accession number identifiers:

  1. Minor histocompatibility antigen HA-1

    • GSRS record (note UNIPROT accession number is listed under "Codes - Identifiers")

    • UNIPROT Accession Number identifier: O78181

  2. PULMONARY SURFACTANT-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN C (BOS TAURUS)

    • GSRS record (note UNIPROT accession number is listed under "Codes - Identifiers")

    • UNIPROT Accession Number identifier: P15783

UniProt releases are published every 8 weeks (4 weeks until the last 2019 release, 2019_11), with possible exceptions in January and summer due to reduced staff during holidays.

The current release number format is YYYY_XX where YYYY is the calendar year and XX a 2-digit number that is incremented for each release of a given year, e.g. 2010_01, 2010_02, etc.
