AGO4 - argonaute RISC component 4 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as EIF2C4

Gene ID: 192670 | Gene type: protein coding

About AGO4

Cytogenetic location: 1p34.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:35,807,636-35,857,890 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 215 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 10.1), bone marrow (RPKM 8.1) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Argonaute family of proteins which contain PAZ and PIWI domains and play an integral role in RNA interference and short-interfering-RNA-mediated gene silencing. This gene is located on chromosome 1 in a cluster of related family members. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]
