Family of short repeats that occurs in a limited number of membrane proteins. It may divide further in short repeats of around 7-10 residues of the pattern G-#-X(2)-#(2)-X (#=hydrophobic).

These families have been collected together in the Pfam database using the prefix DUF followed by a number, with examples being DUF2992 and DUF1220. As of 2019, there are almost 4,000 DUF families within the Pfam database representing over 22% of known families. Some DUFs are not named using the nomenclature due to popular usage but are nevertheless DUFs.
