ESCO2

N-acetyltransferase ESCO2, also known as establishment of cohesion 1 homolog 2 or ECO1 homolog 2, is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ESCO2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a protein that may have is_associated_with::acetyltransferase activity and may be required for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion during the is_associated_with::S phase of the is_associated_with::cell cycle.

Clinical significance
Mutations in the ESCO2 gene are associated with is_associated_with::Roberts syndrome.
