Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to induce deleterious effects on the skin, with long-term exposure posing a significant risk of skin cancer and, in severe cases, mortality. The UltraViolet Radiation Expression Knowledgebase (UVREK) serves as a comprehensive repository detailing genes, proteins, metabolites, and miRNAs affected by UV exposure. This database is a product of meticulous manual curation, consolidating findings from published literature specifically focused on humans and rodents. The UVREK database is a invaluable resource compiling biomolecules associated with both early and late stages of UV exposure from published studies. This resource facilitates an understanding of the molecular responses to UV radiation and will aid in the development of targeted treatments tailored to the specific stages of exposure.
