Retrieve proteins annotated with a functional term or descriptive text in a single species. You can query for tissues, compartments, diseases, processes, pathways, and domains. IMPORTANT: For cross-species comparisons, run this tool separately for each species. Select relevant model organisms to search or ask user to provide the selection. The results reflect annotation depth within each category; use caution when interpreting. If no results are found, try simplifying the query. For tissue queries, follow BRENDA tissue nomenclature and omit the word "tissue" (e.g. use "skin" instead of "skin tissue"). Output fields: - category: Source database of the matched functional term (e.g. GO, KEGG, Reactome, Pfam, InterPro). - term: Exact identifier for the functional term. - description: The free text description of the term. - proteinCount: Number of proteins annotated with that term - preferredNames: Full protein-name list when `detail_for_term` is set - stringIds: STRING protein identifiers when returned - preferredNames_omitted: True when a row omits the protein-name list - stringIds_omitted: True when STRING identifiers are omitted
