Pfam Search Clans
Search and list Pfam clans (superfamilies) by keyword. Pfam clans group together related Pfam families that share a common evolutionary origin but may have diverged beyond simple sequence similarity. There are 812 Pfam clans covering major protein superfamilies. For example, CL0016 (PKinase) groups 30+ kinase domain families, CL0001 (EGF) groups EGF-like domain families, CL0221 (RRM) groups RNA recognition motif families. Use this to explore protein superfamily relationships. If no query is giv…
