Summary
Allatostatin superfamily
Allatostatins are pleiotropic neuropeptides. In some insects they are known to inhibit the synthesis of juvenile hormone, an important regulator of development and reproduction. The full role of allatostatins in hormone production is still unclear [1].
This clan contains 2 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 451. The clan was built by J Mistry.

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.
