DOCK (Dedicator of cytokinesis) is a family of related proteins involved in intracellular signalling networks.^[1] Studies to date suggest that this family act as guanine nucleotide exchange factors for small G proteins of the Rho family, such as Rac and Cdc42. DOCK family proteins are categorised into four subfamilies based on their sequence homology:

DOCK-A subfamily
- Dock180 (also known as Dock1)
- Dock2
- Dock5
DOCK-B subfamily
- Dock3 (also known as MOCA and PBP)
- Dock4
DOCK-C subfamily (also known as Zir subfamily)
- Dock6 (also known as Zir1)
- Dock7 (also known as Zir2)
- Dock8 (also known as Zir3)
DOCK-D subfamily (also known as Zizimin subfamily)
- Dock9 (also known as Zizimin1)
- Dock10 (also known as Zizimin3)
- Dock11 (also known as Zizimin2)
