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
Nephridium In freshwater crustacea, the saccate metanephridia are especially large because they are involved in osmoregulation. They have to remove large amounts of water from the tissues, as the crustacean's tissues are hypertonic to the surrounding water. A protonephridium ("proto" = "first") is a network of dead-end tubules lacking internal openings found in the phyla Platyhelminthes, Nemertea, Rotifera and Chordata (lancelets). The ends are called "flame cells" (if ciliated) or "solenocytes" (if flagellated); they function in osmoregulation and ionoregulation, respectively. The terminal cells are located at the blind end of the protonephridium. Each cell has one or more cilia and their
