You know the Q8PV56 part is already a unique UniProt identifier, right? UniProt calls it an 'Accession Number'. There would seem to be no need to use the whole line as a key.

Here is the info in case you want to excise the accession number with a regular expression: accession_numbers

There can exist also multiple isoforms, which have similar accession numbers but postfixed with dash+integer, like so: P68250-3

And the same information for Q8PV56 in the underlying machine-readable text format is here: https://rest.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/Q8PV56.txt The sections in that text format are defined by the first 2 characters of each line, for which see the fine manual: https://ftp.uniprot.org/pub/databases/uniprot/current_release/knowledgebase/complete/docs/userman.htm (that directory also contains the many text files that constitute the huge protein resource that is UniProt)	[reply]
