About UniProt

Search Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL with UniProt query syntax, then read the curated annotation for one accession: function, subcellular location, disease involvement, domains and binding sites, keywords, PDB structures and the sequence. CC BY 4.0.

Questions you can ask UniProt

Type them into Kahubi’s chat once UniProt is connected.

“What is the function of human PCSK9, and which diseases is it involved in?”

What comes back: The reviewed UniProt entry with function, subcellular location, disease involvement and PDB structure ids.

“List the reviewed human kinases that localise to the mitochondrion.”

What comes back: Swiss-Prot entries with accession, gene, protein name and a function snippet.

UniProt MCP tools

The 2 tools the UniProt server offers to Kahubi. The assistant picks the right one for each question.

  • uniprot_search

    Search UniProtKB (Swiss-Prot + TrEMBL).

  • uniprot_get_entry

    Full annotation for one accession: function, subcellular location, disease involvement, domains, keywords, PDB structure ids, sequence length.

Using UniProt in Kahubi

  • Hosted by Kahubi. Kahubi runs this server itself so it stays reliable enough for research use.
  • Cited, checkable answers. Results are treated as retrieved material and cited with the source’s own identifiers, so you can open every record the answer relied on.
  • Your files stay private. Only the search the assistant writes for your question is sent to UniProt.
