Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 192669
Gene name Argonaute RISC catalytic component 3
Gene symbol AGO3
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
EIF2C3
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p34.3
Summary This gene encodes a member of the Argonaute family of proteins which play a role in RNA interference. The encoded protein is highly basic, contains a PAZ domain and a PIWI domain, and may play a role in short-interfering-RNA-mediated gene silencing. This

Protein name Protein argonaute-3 (Argonaute3) (hAgo3) (EC 3.1.26.n2) (Argonaute RISC catalytic component 3) (Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C 3) (eIF-2C 3) (eIF2C 3)
Protein function Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Binds to short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and represses the translation of mRNAs which are complementary to them. Proposed to be involved in stabilization of small RNA derivates (siRNA) deriv
