亨廷顿病（hd）是一种以纹状体神经元丧失为特征的神经退行性疾病，是由hd蛋白亨廷顿蛋白中的多聚谷氨酸束扩张引起的。该基因编码一种与huntingtin相关蛋白1相互作用的蛋白质，huntingtin相关蛋白1是一种huntingtin结合蛋白，可能在囊泡运输中发挥作用。[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]
