A protein family, the ‘Ov‐serpins’ has been identified by comparing amino acid sequence, protein characteristics and gene organization. The Ov‐serpins would not be recognized as a family based on sequence identity alone. This example suggests that combinations of characteristics may need to be examined to identify family groupings within the serpin superfamily.
