Rabbit anti-Human HIP1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O00291

Target Species

Human

Target Name

HIP1

Target Full Name

Huntingtin-interacting protein 1

Target Function

Plays a role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and trafficking. Involved in regulating AMPA receptor trafficking in the central nervous system in an NMDA-dependent manner. Regulates presynaptic nerve terminal activity. Enhances androgen receptor (AR)-mediated transcription. May act as a proapoptotic protein that induces cell death by acting through the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. Binds 3-phosphoinositides (via ENTH domain). May act through the ENTH domain to promote cell survival by stabilizing receptor tyrosine kinases following ligand-induced endocytosis. May play a functional role in the cell filament networks. May be required for differentiation, proliferation, and/or survival of somatic and germline progenitors.

Target Involvement

A chromosomal aberration involving HIP1 is found in a form of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Translocation t(5;7)(q33;q11.2) with PDGFRB (PubMed:9616134). The chimeric HIP1-PDGFRB transcript results from an in-frame fusion of the two genes (PubMed:9616134). The reciprocal PDGFRB-HIP1 transcript is not expressed (PubMed:9616134).

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Endomembrane system. Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle membrane. Note=Shuttles between cytoplasm and nucleus. Nuclear translocation can be induced by AR.

Target Protein Families

SLA2 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed with the highest level in brain. Expression is up-regulated in prostate and colon cancer.

Target Background

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.
