Pathway
Last modified February 17, 2011
This subsection of the ‘General annotation (Comments)’ section describes the metabolic pathway(s) associated with a protein.
Example: P77731
The ‘Pathway’ subsection uses a structured hierarchy of controlled vocabulary. Each process is split up into ‘super-pathway’, ‘pathway’ and/or ‘sub-pathway’ associated with the protein. When known, the step number mediated by the protein within the pathway is also indicated.
Example: P20580
When the metabolic pathway is not fully known, we only indicate the super-pathway and pathway labels.
Example: Q47316
When a protein participates in different pathways or in different steps of the same pathway, they are all listed on individual lines in the ‘Pathway’ subsections.
Example: P00562
The ‘Pathway’ subsection provides links to UniPathway, a collection of manually curated metabolic pathways.
