pandas.errors.ParserError: Error tokenizing data. C error: Expected 3 fields in line 1572668, saw 4

I don’t know much about pandas but I assumed it was to do with the input csv file. I printed line 1573668:

HKINOCCC_30195,B_1977_r3-phage_3,3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase CpdA

And saw that the protein name contains an additional comma. There are a couple more like this within the csv file.

My question is, if I remove the comma from the csv file., do I need to make sure the header names within the proteins.faa file match exactly?

Thanks
