AGO2 | Protein argonaute-2; Essential for RNA interference (RNAi); double-stranded RNA induces potent and specific gene silencing. RNAi is mediated by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a sequence-specific, multicomponent nuclease that destroys or silences messenger RNAs homologous to the silencing trigger; Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily. (1217 aa) | ||||
sim | Protein single-minded; Transcription factor that functions as a master developmental regulator controlling midline development of the ventral nerve cord. Required to correctly specify the formation of the central brain complex, which controls walking behavior. Also required for correct patterning of the embryonic genital disk and anal pad anlage. Plays a role in synapse development. (688 aa) |
