Search Targets

search_targets
Read-onlyIdempotent

Search the Guide to PHARMACOLOGY (IUPHAR/BPS) — an expert-curated pharmacology database — for protein targets by name. Returns matching targets with their GtoPdb target id, abbreviation, and type (e.g. GPCR, CatalyticReceptor, Enzyme, Transporter). Use the returned target id with target_interactions to find ligands that bind it. Requires a GtoPdb API key — register free at guidetopharmacology.org/login.jsp and pass your own via _apiKey. Complements ChEMBL/DrugBank.
