5. ePSORTdb Fields
The following table lists all available ePSORTdb fields. Default fields displayed in results pages are in bold. Numerical fields are followed by a #.
Field name | Description |
Swiss-Prot ID | Swiss-Prot primary accession number of the protein. Most of the experimentally derived data use a Swiss-Prot ID |
RefSeq Accession | Several of the proteins use a RefSeq accession as an identifier |
Other ID | Some of the proteins use identifiers from other databanks: EMBL, DDBJ, GenBank, PIR or PDB |
Protein name | The name of the protein |
Alternate protein name | Alternative names of the protein |
Gene name | The name of the gene |
Organism | Genus and species of the protein source organism |
Taxonomy ID # | NCBI taxonomy identifier of the source organism |
Gram stain | Gram classification of the source organism |
Amino acid sequence | Amino acid sequence of the protein |
Sequence length | Number of amino acids in the protein sequence |
Experimental (terse) | Experimentally verified subcellular localization (terse format)* |
Experimental SCL (verbose) | Experimentally verified subcellular localization (verbose format)** |
GO Accession ID | Gene Ontology (GO) accession identifier |
GO Accession Definition | Gene Ontology (GO) accession definition |
Reference title | Title of literature reference books |
ISBN number reference | ISBN identifier of literature reference books |
WWW reference | Internet address of www references |
RefSummary | Comments pertaining to literature references |
PMID | Concatenation of all reference fields (PubMed ID, title, ISBN number, WWW and comments) |
