Homologous superfamily: a new InterPro entry type
interproInterPro entries are comprised of one or more signatures from member databases, thereby providing a unified view of protein families. Each InterPro entry is labelled with a “type” reflecting what the constituent signatures represent: families, domains, repeats or sites. As part of release 65.0, InterPro has added a new entry type, homologous superfamily, to complement the existing set of types. A homologous superfamily is a group of proteins that share a common evolutionary origin, indicated by their structural similarities.
