Trinucleotide repeat-containing gene 6A protein

UniProtKB accession:  Q3UHK8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Plays a role in RNA-mediated gene silencing by both micro-RNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) (PubMed:22187428). Required for miRNA-dependent repression of translation and for siRNA-dependent endonucleolytic cleavage of complementary mRNAs by argonaute family proteins (PubMed:22187428). As a scaffolding protein, associates with argonaute proteins bound to partially complementary mRNAs, and can simultaneously recruit CCR4-NOT and PAN deadenylase complexes (By similarity).
