The PRotein Ontology (PRO) has been designed to describe the relationships of proteins and protein evolutionary classes, to delineate the multiple protein forms of a gene locus (ontology for protein forms), and to interconnect existing ontologies.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Protein Ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

000000024   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Protein Ontology should match this regular expression:
^pr:\d+$

Example CURIE

pr:000000024

MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI

The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource includes the namespaceEmbeddedInLUI as true. The actual part that gets prefixed before the local unique identifier regex, otherwise known as the banana, is PR:. Therefore, you might see local unique identifiers written out as CURIEs.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 14 mappings to external registries for pr with 4 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE pr:000000024 is used to demonstrate the provides available for pr. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
