Description
Product Characteristics:
Synonyms: Protein argonaute-2 (Argonaute2, hAgo2):Argonaute RISC catalytic component 2:Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C 2 (eIF-2C 2, eIF2C 2):PAZ Piwi domain protein (PPD):Protein slicer:AGO2:EIF2C2
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the Argonaute family of proteins which play a role in RNA interference. The encoded protein is highly basic, and contains a PAZ domain and a PIWI domain. It may interact with dicer1 and play a role in short-interfering-RNA-mediated gene silencing. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
