Details

PROSITE

PROSITE is a protein domain and family database hosted at the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics as part of the ExPASy resource portal. It provides documentation entries that describe protein domains, families and functional sites, together with the patterns (regular-expression-like signatures) and generalized profiles used to detect them in protein sequences.

Key components include:

  • Curated documentation entries describing protein families and domains
  • PROSITE patterns and profiles for sequence-based detection
  • The ScanProsite tool for matching sequences against PROSITE signatures
  • Integration with the ProRule annotation rules

GeneCards integrates protein domain and family annotations from PROSITE.
