The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) is a Swedish initiative that started in 2003 with the aim of mapping all the body's proteins. Today, over 17,000 proteins have been mapped in the database and it has grown into one of the largest in the world.

"If you look at the number of visitors, The Human Protein Atlas is actually second in the world of the biological databases. We have about half a million visitors per month," says Mathias Uhlén, professor of microbiology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the initiator of the project, to Life Science Sweden.
