What kind of accession code is NP_000123.1?

I am batch retrieving a few hundred codes that vary slightly in length and sometimes have XP rather than NP. In uniprot, from the dropdown selection (see below image) in the batch retrieval page, what database should I convert from?

Looks like NCBI Protein

"RefSeq Protein" works as "from"

The NCBI Handbook, Chapter 18 - The Reference Sequence (RefSeq) Database, Table 1:

AC_     Genomic     Complete genomic molecule, usually alternate assembly
NC_     Genomic     Complete genomic molecule, usually reference assembly
NG_     Genomic     Incomplete genomic region
NT_     Genomic     Contig or scaffold, clone-based or WGSa
NW_     Genomic     Contig or scaffold, primarily WGSa
NS_     Genomic     Environmental sequence
NZ_b    Genomic     Unfinished WGS
NM_     mRNA      
NR_     RNA      
XM_c    mRNA        Predicted model
XR_c    RNA         Predicted model
AP_     Protein     Annotated on AC_ alternate assembly
NP_     Protein     Associated with an NM_ or NC_ accession
YP_c    Protein      
XP_c    Protein     Predicted model, associated with an XM_ accession
ZP_c    Protein     Predicted model, annotated on NZ_ genomic records
