Chemical Abstracts Service
A CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) Registry Number is a unique identifier that tells you, for example, that acetone and dimethyl ketone are actually the same substance. As of 2020, there were 159,000,000 unique chemical substances indexed by CAS as well as 68,000,000 protein and nucleic acid sequences.
