The SMART diagram above represents a summary of the results shown below. Domains with scores less significant than established cutoffs are not shown in the diagram. Features are also not shown when two or more occupy the same piece of sequence; the priority for display is given by SMART > PFAM > PROSPERO repeats > Signal peptide > Transmembrane > Coiled coil > Low complexity. In either case, features not shown in the above diagram are listed in the right side table below, and the reason for their omission is shown in the 'Reason' column.
