C2orf73 base pairs upstream of "C2orf73". Many of the transcription factors normally regulate processes such as cell development and differentiation, cell death, and the cell cycle. Three proteins have been experimentally determined to interact with C2orf73 through Yeast Two-Hybrid experiments. The function of C2orf73 is currently not well understood by the scientific community or anyone else. There are no paralogs of C2orf73 in the Human genome. Orthologs are found throughout, but are limited to, the phylum Chordata (with a few exceptions in other phyla of the kingdom Animalia, like the "Octopus bimaculoides"). C2orf73 Uncharacterized protein C2orf73 is a protein that in
Bacterial phyla Group A. Two species of the candidate phylum OP10, which is now called Armatimonadetes, where recently cultured: "Armatimonas rosea" isolated from the rhizoplane of a reed in a lake in Japan and "Chthonomonas calidirosea" from an isolate from geothermally heated soil at Hell's Gate, Tikitere, New Zealand. One species, "Caldisericum exile", of the candidate phylum OP5 was cultured, leading to it being named Caldiserica. The candidate phylum VadinBE97 is now known as Lentisphaerae after "Lentisphaera araneosa" and "Victivallis vadensis" were cultured. More recently several candidate phyla have been given provisional names despite the fact that they have no cultured representatives:
