Argonaute Proteins

A family of RNA-binding proteins that has specificity for MICRORNAS and SMALL INTERFERING RNA molecules. The proteins take part in RNA processing events as core components of RNA-induced silencing complex.

Also Known As:

Ago Subfamily of Argonaute Proteins; PIWI Subfamily of Argonaute Proteins; Protein, Argonaute; Proteins, Argonaute; Ago Subfamily of Argonaute Protein; Argonaute Protein; PIWI Subfamily of Argonaute Protein
