Gene:
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, 2
Gene ID:
193284
Symbol:
EIF2C2
Species:
1000
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.
