huntingtin interacting protein 1
Alias
HIP-I | ILWEQ | SHON | SHONbeta | SHONgamma
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.
