neXtProt is an on-line knowledge platform on human proteins.
It strives to be a comprehensive resource that provides a variety of
types of information on human proteins, such as their function,
subcellular location, expression, interactions and role in diseases.
Currently, the major part of the information in neXtProt
is obtained from
the UniProt
