The Proteome Discoverer application gives you access to protein annotation information from a web service that provides the following from the UniProt database:

  • Gene ontology (GO) molecular function, cellular component, and biological process terms
  • Reactome and WikiPathways pathway annotations
  • Protein Family (Pfam) classification information
  • HGNC gene symbols and Entrez gene identifications
  • Genomic annotations of genetically sequenced organisms from the Ensembl genome database
  • Post-translational modification information

The protein annotations web service is updated on a regular basis. The protein annotation service also lets you download full proteome databases by taxonomy number. For more information about downloading FASTA files, see Download FASTA files to Proteome Discoverer.
