EIF2C4 Antibody
Antibodies
Description
Protein argonaute-4 (EIF2C4) is required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). EIF2C4 binds to short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and represses the translation of mRNAs which are complementary to them. EIF2C4 lacks endonuclease activity and does not appear to cleave target mRNAs. EIF2C4 is also required for RNA-directed transcription and replication of the human hapatitis delta virus (HDV).
