# KEGG pathway map identifier (`kegg_pathway_id`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Identifier of a pathway map in KEGG PATHWAY, the hand-drawn maps of molecular interaction and reaction networks of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. It is a prefix of two to four characters and five digits: map for the reference pathway or a KEGG organism code, such as hsa for human, for the pathway of one organism.

## Detection

Regular expression (Python `re`):

```
^\w{2,4}\d{5}$
```

## Examples

- `map00010` — Glycolysis / Gluconeogenesis, reference pathway
- `hsa00010` — Glycolysis / Gluconeogenesis in Homo sapiens
- `rsk00410` — beta-Alanine metabolism in Cereibacter sphaeroides KD131; Bioregistry example
- `hsa0010` (invalid example) — Four digits instead of five
