Summary
HMA domain superfamily
This superfamily includes families that are involved in heavy metals transport or in detoxification pathways. The Heavy-Metal -Associated (HMA) domain contains two conserved Cys and a common structure comprising a four-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet and two alpha-helices packed in an alpha-beta sandwich fold.
This clan contains 2 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 57542. The clan was built by S Chuguransky and 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.
