Search UniProt Proteomes for complete sets of proteins from fully sequenced organisms. A proteome represents all the proteins encoded by the genome of a specific organism, including chromosomal proteins, plasmid proteins, and organelle-encoded proteins.
Use this endpoint when you need information about complete proteome sets rather than individual proteins. Results include proteome statistics, genome assembly information, and component breakdowns (e.g., which chromosomes/proteins are included). This is useful for comparative genomics, proteome-wide analyses, and understanding the complete protein complement of an organism.
Original spec description
Search proteomes (complete sets of proteins expressed by an organism).
Usage Tips
- Proteome IDs follow the pattern UP000005640 (human reference proteome)
- Results include `proteomeType` indicating if it's a reference proteome
- `components` lists genome components (chromosomes, organelles) with protein counts
- Each component shows annotation source (e.g., Ensembl) and genome accession
- Use `organism:` query syntax to search by organism name
- The `taxonomy` field shows the organism's scientific name, common name, and NCBI taxon ID
- Reference proteomes are manually selected high-quality representative sets
