HIP1 huntingtin interacting protein 1

Gene ID: 3092, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SHON; HIP-I; ILWEQ; SHONbeta; SHONgamma

Summary

The product of this gene is a membrane-associated protein that functions in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and protein trafficking within the cell. The encoded protein binds to the huntingtin protein in the brain; this interaction is lost in Huntington's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
