Tarbp2 - Tarbp2 subunit of RISC loading complex

Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA binding activity; protein N-terminus binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to contribute to pre-miRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of defense response to virus by host; positive regulation of viral genome replication; and post-transcriptional gene silencing by RNA. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of muscle cell differentiation; regulation of gene expression; and spermatid development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of RISC complex and RISC-loading complex. Orthologous to human TARBP2 (TARBP2 subunit of RISC loading complex).
