Category D - Proteins
Proteins
(D12 subcategory) are a very important part of the MeSH vocabulary. This subcategory includes many general pre-coordinated terms, such as BACTERIAL PROTEINS, EYE PROTEINS, PREGNANCY PROTEINS, NERVE TISSUE PROTEINS, etc. It also includes such group headings as PHOSPHOPROTEINS, LIPOPROTEINS, METALLOPROTEINS, etc.
In addition to these general terms, there are many specific protein terms as either MeSH descriptors or SCR terms.
Acyl Carrier Protein (MeSH descriptor)
BRCA1 Protein (MeSH descriptor)
adiponutrin (SCR)
calmyrin (SCR)
Flagging Proteins
The policy for flagging proteins that are not in MeSH is described in Technical Memorandum 443.
New SCR protein records will only be created for proteins from the 11 model organisms listed below:
