The flowchart begins with all candidates totaling 5,548 from AFTM and UniProt. The first step removes 324 mitochondrial candidates identified by UniProt and MitoCarta 3.0, leaving 5,224 non-mitochondrial candidates. These candidates undergo a cross-database concordance check, resulting in 3,307 concordant and 1,917 conflicted candidates. The concordant candidates have 13 obsolete mito/cytosolic entries removed, contributing to the final curated dataset. The conflicted candidates have 348 entries removed, including 45 secreted, 10 hairpin, 290 non-TMD, and 3 obsolete entries. The final curated dataset comprises 4,863 entries.
