Protein argonaute-1 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF2C1gene.[5][6][7]
Function
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. This gene is located on chromosome 1 in a cluster of closely related family members including argonaute 3, and argonaute 4.[7]
