This domain is found in uncharacterised eukaryotic proteins. It contains a number of highly conserved cysteine and histidine residues that may be involved in metal coordination. Some proteins contain two copies of this domain. It probably adopt a novel fold judging by its predicted structure.

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.
