A Database of Extreme Multifunctional and Moonlighting Proteins

 

MoonDB is a database containing predicted Extreme Multifunctional (EMF) proteins (i.e. proteins with several unrelated functions), as well as a set of manually curated moonlighting proteins. Moonlighting proteins are a subclass of multifunctional proteins. 

EMF proteins were detected through the MoonGO pipeline, which combines network topological information and protein annotations. This approach is described on:

MoonDB currently contains mostly data for Human but also for Mouse, Fly, Worm and Yeast
