亨廷頓病（hd）是一種以紋狀體神經元喪失為特征的神經退行性疾病，是由hd蛋白亨廷頓蛋白中的多聚谷氨酸束擴張引起的。該基因編碼一種與huntingtin相關蛋白1相互作用的蛋白質，huntingtin相關蛋白1是一種huntingtin結合蛋白，可能在囊泡運輸中發揮作用。[由RefSeq提供，2016年4月]
Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of striatal neurons, is caused by an expansion of a polyglutamine tract in the HD protein huntingtin. This gene encodes a protein that interacts with the huntingtin-associated protein 1, which is a huntingtin binding protein that may function in vesicle trafficking. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]
