MultifacetedProtDB: a database of human proteins with multiple functions. [PMID: 37791887]

MultifacetedProtDB is a database of multifunctional human proteins deriving information from other databases, including UniProt, GeneCards, Human Protein Atlas (HPA), Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) and MONDO. It collects under the label 'multifaceted' multitasking proteins addressed in literature as pleiotropic, multidomain, promiscuous (in relation to enzymes catalysing multiple substrates) and moonlighting (with two or more molecular functions), and difficult to be retrieved with a direct search in existing non-specific databases. The study of multifunctional proteins is an expanding research area aiming to elucidate the complexities of biological processes, particularly in humans, where multifunctional proteins play roles in various processes, including signal transduction, metabolism, gene regulation and cellular communication, and are often involved in disease insurgence and progression. The webserver allows searching by gene, protein and any associated structural and functional information, like available structures from PDB, structural models and interactors, using multiple filters. Protein entries are supplemented with comprehensive annotations including EC number, GO terms (biological pathways, molecular functions, and cellular components), pathways from Reactome, subcellular localization from UniProt, tissue and cell type expression from HPA, and associated diseases following MONDO, Orphanet and OMIM classification. MultiFacetedProtDB is freely available as a web server at: https://multifacetedprotdb.biocomp.unibo.it/.
