Caenorhabditis elegans Enables RNA binding activity and RNA endonuclease activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of development, heterochronic; regulatory ncRNA-mediated gene silencing; and vulval development. Located in P-body. Part of RISC complex. Expressed in several structures, including P3.p hermaphrodite; P4.p hermaphrodite; gonad; somatic cell; and tail. Is an ortholog of human AGO2 (argonaute RISC catalytic component 2).
