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.[3][4][5]

Function

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 the cell cycle.[3]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the ESCO2 gene are associated with Roberts syndrome.[6]
