Signal P server usage and result analysis in 3 simple steps
<p>SignalP is a server used to predict the signal peptide for proteins. SignalP 5.0 is the latest version. Here we are going to predict the signal peptide for the Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) protein. You can find it on Uniprot <a href="https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P08069" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. (click on 'here') ( Uniprot is a protein database by the way )</p>
<p>You might just ask…seriously? like seriously? Can't you find it through literature? What's the use of a signal peptide prediction software/server? Stop right there, coz, you're wrong. You could definitely find signal peptides for insulin, but let's say you have a protein that you've newly found, or maybe a protein for which signal peptides are not mentioned in the literature, (which I hope is your reason for reading this blog ) this is when the signal peptide server works as a great tool, finding unknown signal peptide regions for newly found proteins.</p>
