`get`

Pack: uniprot · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/uniprot/mcp

“Fetch protein [P12345]” / “UniProt entry for [accession]” / “FASTA sequence for [protein]” — single UniProtKB entry by accession (e.g. P12345 or P38398 for BRCA1_HUMAN). Returns full protein record: sequence, function annotations, GO terms, cross-refs, post-translational modifications, variants. Pass format=fasta for sequence only.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`accession`	string	yes	e.g. “P12345” or “P38398” (BRCA1_HUMAN)
`format`	string	no	json (default) \| fasta \| xml \| txt \| gff
