Chromosome 2 open reading frame 27A
Chromosome 2 open reading frame 27A or C2orf27A, is a gene whose function is currently unknown. Located at 2q21.2, its mRNA is 1,222 bp in length and contains five exons. . Based off of the PSORT program, this gene is located in the extracellular compartment and nucleus of a cell. Its isoelectric point is 5.13.

Function
As of now, C2orf27A is associated with the disease nonsyndromic craniosynotosis. In patients with Subtype B of this disease, C2orf27A was shown to have an increased expression. . Other studies show it playing a role in other areas including a connection to cellular movement, the function and development of blood and bone marrow, and cell-mediated response of the immune system, and acting as a molecular marker for those with ovarian cancer.
