  EXPERIMENTAL_EVIDENCE_AT_PROTEIN_LEVEL:
    text: EXPERIMENTAL_EVIDENCE_AT_PROTEIN_LEVEL
    description: Indicates that there is clear experimental evidence for the existence
      of the protein. The criteria include partial or complete Edman sequencing, clear
      identification by mass spectrometry, X-ray or NMR structure, good quality protein-protein
      interaction or detection of the protein by antibodies.
  EXPERIMENTAL_EVIDENCE_AT_TRANSCRIPT_LEVEL:
    text: EXPERIMENTAL_EVIDENCE_AT_TRANSCRIPT_LEVEL
    description: Indicates that the existence of a protein has not been strictly proven
      but that expression data (such as existence of cDNA(s), RT-PCR or Northern blots)
      indicate the existence of a transcript.
  PROTEIN_INFERRED_BY_HOMOLOGY:
    text: PROTEIN_INFERRED_BY_HOMOLOGY
    description: Indicates that the existence of a protein is probable because clear
      orthologs exist in closely related species.
  PROTEIN_PREDICTED:
    text: PROTEIN_PREDICTED
    description: Used for entries without evidence at protein, transcript, or homology
      levels.
  PROTEIN_UNCERTAIN:
    text: PROTEIN_UNCERTAIN
    description: Indicates that the existence of the protein is unsure.
