Powering down the Pfam website
On October 5th, we began redirecting traffic from Pfam (pfam.xfam.org) to InterPro (www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro). The Pfam website will remain available at pfam-legacy.xfam.org until January 2023, when it will be decommissioned. You can read more about the sunset period in our blog post.

Clan: Transporter (CL0375)

Summary

Transporter-like superfamily, four TM region Add an annotation

Members of this superfamily normally carry four transmembrane regions, which in many instances associate into hexameric structures. They are frequently involved in gap-junction formation between cells or in forming pores linking the cytosol with the extracellular space [1,2]. Some of them are transporters proteins, including members of the TCDB superfamilies 1.A.24 and 1.A.25.

This clan contains 14 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 42618. The clan was built by A Bateman.

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.
