Exploring a UniProtKB entry
Navigating within a UniProtKB entry
Information in a UniProtKB entry is structured into a number of sections to make it easy to find the data that you are looking for. For a quick overview of this section, please watch this short video on the right.
When viewing a UniProtKB entry, a series of tabs on the left-hand side of the screen lists display options, allowing you to move easily between the full entry, a graphical view of sequence features (Feature viewer), publications, external links to additional resources, or the history of the entry. When you open the entry, you are looking at the Entry View. The left-hand bar lists the entry sections so you can easily jump to specific parts of a record just by clicking on the section heading (Click on 
in Figure 22).
Figure 22 The menu bar on the left-hand side of the entry shows the display options and entry sections.
Display options
The following display options are provided for each UniProtKB entry.
| Entry | Full entry showing all available sections |
| Publications | Publications related to the entry sourced from UniProtKB curation as well as those computationally mapped from other sources |
| Feature viewer | Graphical representation of all UniProtKB sequence features for the entry in an interactive display plus additional sequence features from large-scale projects |
| External links | Cross references to resources and webpages giving additional information on the protein described in the entry |
| History | A complete sequence and annotation history of the entry since it first appeared in UniProtKB/TrEMBL |
More details about the display options and their sections are provided in the following pages.
