Description
Product Characteristics: Name/Gene ID: AGO2
Synonyms: AGO2, Argonaute2, Argonaute 2, EIF-2C 2, EIF2C2, EIF2C 2, HAgo2, PPD, Protein slicer, Q10, PAZ Piwi domain protein, Protein argonaute-2
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]
