CC   -!- FUNCTION: Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Binds to
CC       short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and represses the translation of
CC       mRNAs which are complementary to them. Lacks endonuclease activity and
CC       does not appear to cleave target mRNAs.
case <OC:Mammalia>
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts with EIF4B, IMP8, PRMT5 and TNRC6B. Interacts with
CC       APOBEC3F, APOBEC3G and APOBEC3H.
end case
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, P-body.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily.
