This entry represents a domain from a family of uncharacterised proteins in archaea. The proteins are predominantly found in the Halobacteria class, specifically within the Haloferacaceae and Haloarculaceae families. The domain is approximately 68-86 amino acids in length. Reviewed UniProt entry Q18K22 from Haloquadratum walsbyi is included in this family. The domain is characterized by a conserved CPxCG motif, suggesting a potential zinc finger-like structure, although its exact function remains unknown.

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.
