Look up a UniProt protein by accession or gene name

Looks up a protein in the bundled human Swiss-Prot reviewed set by UniProt accession or gene name, returning the accession, entry name, protein name, gene name, organism, length, and reviewed flag. Fully local (no upstream). confidence 1.0 = exact accession; 0.8 = gene name with a single reviewed protein; 0.5 = gene name with multiple proteins (first returned, match_count flags how many — disambiguate via accession); 0.0 = not found. Scope: the bundled human Swiss-Prot reviewed set. A not-found / exists=False result means 'not in that set' — a non-human or unreviewed (TrEMBL) accession will not be found. Charges 1 cost_unit.

Query parameters

include_receiptboolean

Set true to attach an execution receipt at meta.receipt — caller-verifiable sha256 hashes over the RFC 8785 (JCS) canonicalization of this call's as-received JSON body and its result (free, like include_trace). Reproduce with any JCS library: input_hash = sha256(jcs({"tool": <request path>, "args": <your body minus include_trace/include_receipt>})); result_hash = sha256(jcs(result)). For deterministic tools, same input on the same build reproduces result_hash.

query_typestring

How to interpret the query: 'accession' (default; a UniProt accession like 'P04637', isoform suffixes accepted) or 'gene_name' (e.g. 'TP53').
