AGO5 belongs to a group of argonaute proteins which are catalytic component of the RNA-incudes silencing complex (RISC). This protein complex is responsible for the gene silencing (RNAi). Probably involved in antiviral RNA silencing.

AGO expression may be tissue specific and using floral tissue is recommended where most of the AGOs are expressed the highest, Use of proteasome inhibitors as MG132 can help to stabilize AGO proteins during extraction procedure
