This family of proteins is found in bacteria, eukaryotes and viruses. Proteins in this family are typically between 126 and 281 amino acids in length. The function of this domain is unknown. The structure of this domain has been found to contain five helices with a long flexible loop between helices one and two.

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.
