Gene: HIP1
Alternate names for this Gene: HIP-I|ILWEQ|SHON|SHONbeta|SHONgamma
Gene 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 7
Location in Chromosome : 7q11.23
Description of this Gene: huntingtin interacting protein 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
