Gene information for AGO1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID26523
Official gene symbolAGO1
Full nameeukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, 1
Aliases,EIF2C,EIF2C1,GERP95,Q99,
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, 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. This gene is located on chromosome 1 in a cluster of closely related family members including argonaute 3, and argonaute 4. [provided by RefSeq]
