CC -!- FUNCTION: Provides endonuclease activity to RNA-induced silencing CC complexes (RISC). Cleaves siRNA/mRNA heteroduplexes bound to RISC. CC Essential for embryonic development as well as RNA-mediated gene CC silencing (RNAi). CC -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts with DICER1 through its Piwi domain (By CC similarity). CC -!- INTERACTION: CC Q9UPY3:DICER1 (xeno); NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-528299, EBI-395506; CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm; P-body (By similarity). CC Note=Cytoplasmic bodies (By similarity). CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous expression in 9.5 day embryos with CC highest levels in forebrain, heart, limb buds, and branchial CC arches. CC -!- DOMAIN: Piwi domain is thought to provide RNA cleavage activity CC with a mechanism similar to RNase H. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Mice lacking Eif2c2 are embryonic lethal with a CC strong defect in neural tube closure and apparent cardiac failure. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the argonaute family. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PAZ domain. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Contains 1 Piwi domain.
