This domain is found in uncharacterised proteins mainly from Myxococcota lineage. It is predicted to fold into a globular structure comprising a four stranded beta-sheet packed with two helices. It contains two highly conserved cysteine and a histidine residues that may coordinate a metal ion. The position of the fourth residues is not conserved but it is always present in a close proximity.

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.
