Summary
C1q and TNF superfamily
The members of the C1q and TNF superfamily are involved in a diverse set of functions, which include: defense, inflammation, apoptosis, autoimmunity differentiation, organogenesis, hibernation and insulin-resistant obesity [1]. Both C1q and TNF domains form a compact jelly-roll beta- sandwich. The core of these structures are conserved between the two families and corresponds to the detectable sequence similarity. Proteins containing both of these domains, form trimers before they are active. However, the surfaces of the domains are quite different and this difference is thought to give rise to the function difference between the clan members[1].
This clan contains 7 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 18802. The clan was built by RD Finn.

Structures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the MSD group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt three-dimensional structures. The table below shows the mapping between the Pfam families in this clan, the corresponding UniProt entries, and the region of the three-dimensional structures that are available for that sequence.
