CELE_F59E10.1, ceOrc2, F59E10.1

orc-2 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the Orc2 subunit of the origin recognition complex (ORC); by homology, ORC-2 is predicted to function as part of a multi-protein scaffolding complex that regulates initiation of DNA replication; consistent with its predicted role, orc-2 activity is required for proper execution of a number of biological processes including germ cell proliferation and reproduction, embryonic development, vulval development, and locomotion.
