Gene:
huntingtin interacting protein 2
Gene ID:
209612
Symbol:
HIP2
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. It binds selectively to a large region at the N terminus of huntingtin. This interaction is not influenced by the length of the huntingtin polyglutamine tract. This protein has been implicated in the degradation of huntingtin and suppression of apoptosis.
