ESCO2

Also known as 2410004I17Rik, EFO2, RBS, establishment of sister chromatid cohesion N-acetyltransferase 2, EFO2p, hEFO2, JHS

thumb|The ESCO2 gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 8 at position 21.1. N-acetyltransferase ESCO2, also known as establishment of cohesion 1 homolog 2 or ECO1 homolog 2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ESCO2 gene.

This gene encodes a protein that may have acetyltransferase activity and may be required for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion during the S phase of mitosis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Roberts syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
