ESCO2

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.15757071988ENSG00000171320ENSMUSG00000022034Q56NI9Q8CIB9NM_001017420NM_028039NP_001017420NP_082315This 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 the cell cycle.Mutations in the ESCO2 gene are associated with Roberts syndrome.This article incorporates text from the United States National Library of Medicine, which is in the public domain.
