Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of argonaute RISC catalytic subunit 3, an alias of the protein, argonaute RISC catalytic component 3. The official gene symbol is AGO3. The protein, with a mass of 97.4 kDa and length of 860 residues, is reported to be cytoplasmic. It is a member of the Argonaute family, Ago subfamily and may be known by other names, including: hAgo3, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C 3, argonaute 3 RISC catalytic component, and protein argonaute-3.
