Question

[Shweta]

Can anyone help me how to convert Kegg ids to UniProt ids? I used UniProtKB but it didn't show the result. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi! Have you seen this post?: Convert kegg ids to uniprot ids

https://www.uniprot.org/id-mapping/ KEGG is under Genome Annotation Datasbase category.

You can map identifiers of the form

hsa:286430

osa:4330905

mmu:76407

from KEGG to UniProtKB using the IDmapping service at https://www.uniprot.org/id-mapping

If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact the UniProt helpdesk.

This is not working in my case. Maybe something an issue with the input data. I extracted data from Kegg pathways and the orthologs table. Is it correct? eg in my case I took human protein which has Kegg entry1453 for human but as standard it is K08959. Can you please tell me

KO08959 looks like a KEGG Orthology identifier. Unfortunately UniProt can no longer link to KEGG Orthology because there were clashes with the KO licencing scheme (cross-references to KO were removed from UniProt in December 2020, see https://www.uniprot.org/release-notes/2020-12-02-release).
