Hap1 - huntingtin-associated protein 1 Gene
Also Known as HAP-1
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene was first identified as a neuronal protein that binds the HD protein Huntingtin. The protein also interacts with Kinesin light chain, 14-3-3 proteins, and Abelson helper integration site 1 protein. The protein is involved in intracellular trafficking of vesicles and organelles, and lack of the protein results in neuronal death resembling the hypothalamic degeneration that occurs in Huntington's disease. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
