The Human Proteome Project [1] (HPP) is a collaborative effort coordinated by the Human Proteome Organization. [2] Its stated goal is to experimentally observe all of the proteins produced by the sequences translated from the human genome.
The Human Proteome Organization has served as a coordinating body for many long-running proteomics research projects associated with specific human tissues of clinical interest, such as blood plasma, [3] liver, [4] brain [5] and urine. [6] It has also been responsible for projects associated with specific technology [7] and standards [8] necessary for the large scale study of proteins.
The structure and goals of a larger project that would parallel the Human Genome Project has been debated in the scientific literature. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] The results of this debate and a series of meetings at the World Congresses of the Human Proteome Organization in 2009, 2010 and 2011 has been the decision to define the Human Proteome Project as being composed of two sub-projects, C-HPP and B/D-HPP. [14] The C-HPP will be organized into 25 groups, one per human chromosome. The B/D-HPP will be organized into groups by the biological and disease relevance of proteins. [15]
The current set of working groups are listed below, in order of the chromosome to be studied.

Data reduction, analysis and validation of MS/MS based proteomics results is being provided by Eric Deutsch at the Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle, USA (PeptideAtlas). Data handling associated with antibody methods is being coordinated by Kalle von Feilitzen, Stockholm, Sweden (Human Protein Atlas). Overall integration and reporting informatics are the responsibility of Lydie Lane at SIB, Geneva, Switzerland (NeXtProt). All data generated as part of HPP contributions are deposited to one of the ProteomeXchange repositories.[ citation needed ]
Updates on the Human Proteome Project are regularly published, e.g. in the Journal of Proteome Research (2014). [16] Metrics for the level of confidence associated with protein observations have been published [17] as has been a "MissingProteinPedia". [18] [19]
Based on a comparison of nine major annotation portals gave a spread of human protein counts from 21,819 to 18,891 (as of 2017). [20] The 2021 Metrics of the HPP show that protein expression has now been credibly detected 92.8% of the predicted proteins coded in the human genome. [21]
The proteome is the entire set of proteins that is, or can be, expressed by a genome, cell, tissue, or organism at a certain time. It is the set of expressed proteins in a given type of cell or organism, at a given time, under defined conditions. Proteomics is the study of the proteome.
Stable isotope labeling by/with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) is a technique based on mass spectrometry that detects differences in protein abundance among samples using non-radioactive isotopic labeling. It is a popular method for quantitative proteomics.
Rudolf Aebersold is a Swiss biologist, regarded as a pioneer in the fields of proteomics and systems biology. He has primarily researched techniques for measuring proteins in complex samples, in many cases via mass spectrometry. Ruedi Aebersold is a professor of Systems biology at the Institute of Molecular Systems Biology (IMSB) in ETH Zurich. He was one of the founders of the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, Washington, United States where he previously had a research group.
Vigilin is a 110 kDa protein that in humans is encoded by the HDLBP gene.
MAP/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MARK3 gene.

Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) is an isobaric labeling method used in quantitative proteomics by tandem mass spectrometry to determine the amount of proteins from different sources in a single experiment. It uses stable isotope labeled molecules that can be covalent bonded to the N-terminus and side chain amines of proteins.
