The '''Human Protein Reference Database''' (HPRD) is a protein database accessible through the internet.<ref>Peri, S. ''et al.'' Development of human protein reference database as an initial platform for approaching systems biology in humans. ''Genome Research''. 2003. 13, 2363–71</ref>

==Overview==

The HPRD is a result of an international collaborative effort between the [http://www.ibioinformatics.org/ Institute of Bioinformatics] in Bangalore, India and the [http://pandeylab.igm.jhmi.edu/ Pandey lab] at [[Johns Hopkins University]] in Baltimore, USA. HPRD contains manually curated scientific information pertaining to the biology of most human proteins. Information regarding proteins involved in human diseases is annotated and linked to [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=omim Online Mendelian Inhertance in Man] (OMIM) database. The [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ National Center for Biotechnology Information] provides link to HPRD through its human protein databases (e.g. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene Entrez Gene], [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/RefSeq/ RefSeq protein]) pertaining to genes and proteins.
