This entry represents a small domain of approximately 60 residues. The domain is typically found following AAA_16 domains ([pfam:PF13191]) in multidomain proteins that often also contain guanylate cyclase domains ([pfam:PF00211]). Proteins containing this domain include adenylate and guanylate cyclases. This family is found in bacteria (Actinomycetota, Myxococcota, Pseudomonadota) and eukaryotes. The function of this domain remains to be determined.

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.
