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) | ||||
Nep4 | Neprilysin-4; Metalloendoprotease which cleaves peptides at the amino side of hydrophobic residues - such as the hormones Akh and Dh31, and the neuropeptides Allatostatins (AST1, AST2, AST3 and AST4), Crz, Drosulfakinins (DSK-I and DSK-II), Lk, sNPF and the tachykinin peptides TK-1, TK-2, TK-4 and TK-5. Functions in female fertility, memory formation and may also act in regulating insulin signaling and food intake. Likely to be involved in controlling feeding behavior and the expression of insulin-like peptides by cleaving various regulatory peptides that include certain Drosulfakinins [...] (1040 aa) |
