Uniprot Exercise
- EMBL stands for European Molecular Biology Lab. It is a database that holds a large amount of protein/gene databases. Similar to Genbank and DDBJ
- InterPro is a database for protein sequence, analysis, and classification. Owned by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI).
- On Uniprot, there are three different PDB databases. PDB stands for Protein Data Bank, and they contain 3D structures of proteins.
- Pfam is a collection of protein domains to easily look at the domains of a protein and what that tells us about that protein.
- RefSeq stands for Reference Sequence collection, which is a US owned database of protein, DNA, and gene sequences. It provides summaries and documents on the sequences it contains.
- Geneid is a database that further identifies and describes the EFGR and how it relates to genes. For instance, it gives the location of EFGR on a chromosome, and how EFGR relates to patients with ling cancer.
- EFGR is a protein that is a receptor for the epidermal growth factor and is also a member of the kinase family. If bonded to a ligand, it leads to cell proliferation. Found on the surface of a cell. EFGR mutations have also been known to be associated with lung cancer.
