protein domain "official" DB

I'm working on some variants (exome, human) and I found the different outputs printed for each domain by VEP, e.g. : ex. VAR 1-949422-G-A : Gene3D:3.10.20.90&Pfam_domain:PF00240&PROSITE_profiles:PS50053&hmmpanther:PTHR10666&hmmpanther:PTHR10666:SF81&SMART_domains:SM00213&Superfamily_domains:SSF54236&Low_complexity_(Seg):seg I'd like to know from you expert guys, is there, among all these domains, a more "official" or "widely utilized" one?

Thank you very much for any help!

vep domains protein human variation

There is nothing "more" or "less" official. All the sources listed are valid domain databases.

I know, but I'd like to know if there's a more maintained, widely used etc. Maybe there's not

Pfam, PANTHER, PROSITE all do regular releases/updates so are certainly being actively curated.

thank you very much @genomax
