I am trying to use UniProt.ws to access UniProt.org to get protein function description. But I cannot find the right column for protein function description (such as P19096: Fatty acid synthetase catalyzes the formation of long-chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and NADPH. This multifunctional protein has 7 catalytic activities as an acyl carrier protein). Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you,

You need to ask for the FUNCTION column in your query e.g.

libraryUniProt.ws)
mouseUp <- UniProt.ws(10090)

select(x = mouseUp, 
       keys = 'P19096', 
       keytype = 'UNIPROTKB',
       columns = 'FUNCTION')

  UNIPROTKB
1    P19096
                                                                                                                                                                                                       FUNCTION
1 FUNCTION: Fatty acid synthetase catalyzes the formation of long-chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and NADPH. This multifunctional protein has 7 catalytic activities as an acyl carrier protein.
