Gene Information
human ... AGO2(27161)
General description
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.
Provides endonuclease activity to RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC). Cleaves siRNA/mRNA heteroduplexes bound to RISC. Essential for embryonic development as well as RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi).
