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. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.Store at -20°C or lower. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. *   http://www.creative-diagnostics.com/Anti-AGO2-PAb-189538-147.htm
