| Entry | The KEGG MODULE database is a manually curated collection of modular functional units, categorized into pathway modules, signature modules and reaction modules. A pathway module or a signature module is identified by the unique identifier called the M number ('M' followed by five-digit number) and contains a list of KEGG ORTHOLOGY (KO) identifiers representing the unit. A reaction module is identified by the RM number ('RM' followed by three-digit group number plus two-digit number). |
|---|---|
| Name | Module name. |
| Definition | The definition of the module as a list of K numbers for pathway/signature modules and RC numbers for reaction modules. Comma separated K numbers or RC numbers indicate alternatives. Plus signs are used to represent a complex or a combination and a minus sign denotes a non-essential component in the complex. |
| Diagram | The thumbnail of the corresponding MODULE diagram. |
| Orthology | The list of KEGG ORTHOLOGY identifiers (K numbers). |
| Class | Classification of modules. |
| Group | (Reaction module only) Group of different RC number definitions that constitute a reaction module. |
| Module | (Reaction module only) Corresponding pathway modules. |
| Pathway | The corresonding KEGG pathway map. |
| Brite | The corresonding Brite functional hierarchy. |
| Reaction | The list of reactions (R numbers) in the metabolic pathway module. |
| Compound | The list of compounds (C numbers) in the metabolic pathway module. |
