Gene information for AGO2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID27161
Official gene symbolAGO2
Full nameeukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, 2
Aliases,EIF2C2,Q10,
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. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
