Gene information for AGO3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID192669
Official gene symbolAGO3
Full nameeukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, 3
Aliases,EIF2C3,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the Argonaute family of proteins which play a role in RNA interference. The encoded protein is highly basic, contains a PAZ domain and a PIWI domain, and may play a role in short-interfering-RNA-mediated gene silencing. This gene is located on chromosome 1 in a tandem cluster of closely related family members including argonaute 4 and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, 1. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
