The Human Protein Reference Database is a protein database accessible through internet. This resource depicts information on human protein functions including protein-protein interactions, post-translational modifications, enzyme-substrate relationships and disease associations. Protein annotation information that is catalogued was derived through manual curation using published literature by expert biologists and through bioinformatics analyses of the protein sequence. HPRD [1]also integrates data from Human Proteinpedia, a community portal for integrating human protein data. The data from HPRD can be freely obtained and commercial entities may not use this site without prior licensing authorization. Human Proteinpedia content is freely available for anyone to download and use.
