Gene:
eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, 4
Gene ID:
207319
Symbol:
EIF2C4
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 containing PAZ and PIWI domains, and it may 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 eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, 1.
