SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database with a high level of
annotation (such as description of the function of a protein, its dom
ain structure, post-translational modification, variants, etc), a mini
mal level of redundancy and a high level of integration with other dat
abases. An ongoing project is to maintain the glycosyltransferase fami
ly of enzymes with comprehensive annotation and documentation in the S
WISS-PROT database and to represent the most recent research developme
nts.
