If anyone works in bioinformatics, please, please, for the love of god, generate your own unique IDs. Database identifiers are not generally unique (the same id might get reused for e.g. protein variants). Even sequences are problematic: I've found the same seq with different ids (can't remember the db now), and they can change (sequencing or human error might've occured and they get updated).
