Proteins with similar amino acid sequence and structure and function in vivo form a "protein family", and members of the same protein family are called“ homologous protein ”（homologous protein）

Chinese name: Protein family

English name: protein family

People can get important evidence for the evolution of many species by comparing the members of protein family.

It is also found in vivo that the amino acid sequence similarity between two or more protein families is not high, but they have the same motif structure that plays a similar role. These protein families are generally classified as "superfamily", and the members of "superfamily" are a large class of proteins evolved from the common ancestor.
