Get UniProt entry by accession

Source: R/uniprot_proteins.R
rba_uniprot_proteins.Rd

Retrieve a UniProtKB entry by accession. Alternatively, retrieve its isoforms or interaction partners by setting isoforms = TRUE or interaction = TRUE. These two modes are mutually exclusive.

Usage

rba_uniprot_proteins(accession, interaction = FALSE, isoforms = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

accession

Character: UniProtKB primary or secondary accession.

interaction

Logical: (default = FALSE) Retrieve interaction partners instead of the entry itself?

isoforms

Logical: (default = FALSE) Retrieve isoforms of your supplied UniProt entry instead of the canonical entry itself?

...

rbioapi option(s). See rba_options's arguments manual for more information on available options.

Value

A list containing the requested UniProtKB entry. Isoform and interaction results are lists named by accession.
