Talk:Major facilitator superfamily

abbreviation
I've added a link from the abbreviation MFS. Consider changing the name to 'Major Facilitator Superfamily'. Silasmellor (talk) 18:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

two "MFS superfamilies"
The TCDB has the TCDB family 2.A.1 named "MFS superfamily", and it has the TCDB superfamily "MFS superfamily" which contains
 * 2.A.1 - The Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS)
 * 2.A.2 - The Glycoside-Pentoside-Hexuronide (GPH):Cation Symporter Family
 * 2.A.12 - The ATP:ADP Antiporter (AAA) Family
 * 2.A.17 - The Proton-dependent Oligopeptide Transporter (POT/PTR) Family
 * 2.A.48 - The Reduced Folate Carrier (RFC) Family
 * 2.A.57 - The Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter (ENT) Family
 * 2.A.60 - The Organo Anion Transporter (OAT) Family
 * 2.A.71 - The Folate-Biopterin Transporter (FBT) Family
 * 2.A.85 - The Aromatic Acid Exporter (ArAE) Family
 * 2.A.100 - The Ferroportin (Fpn) Family
 * 2.A.125 - The Eukaryotic Riboflavin Transporter (E-RFT) Family
 * 9.B.111 - The 6 TMS Lysyl tRNA Synthetase (LysS) Family
 * 9.B.143 - The 6 TMS DUF1275/Pf06912 (DUF1275) Family

However, InterPro has the "MFS transporter superfamily" (IPR036259). This looks like the second TCDB superfamily. So I guess the article needs to state that 2.A.1 is only part of it. --SCIdude (talk) 15:54, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
