Cohesin subunit SA-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STAG2 gene.[1][2]

Function

STAG2 is part of the cohesin complex, which is a structure that holds the sister chromatids together after DNA replication.[3] STAG2 has been shown to interact with STAG1.[4]

Role in Disease

Of the cohesin complex, STAG2 is the subunit where the most variants have been reported in cancer. [5] This is thought to be because this gene is located in the X chromosome, therefore only one mutation is needed to inactivate it.[6]
