Synonyms | HD, IT15 |
Function | [Huntingtin]: May play a role in microtubule-mediated transport or vesicle function. |
Cellular Location | [Huntingtin]: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Early endosome. Note=The mutant Huntingtin protein colocalizes with AKAP8L in the nuclear matrix of Huntington disease neurons. Shuttles between cytoplasm and nucleus in a Ran GTPase- independent manner (PubMed:15654337). Recruits onto early endosomes in a Rab5- and HAP40-dependent fashion (PubMed:16476778) |
Tissue Location | Expressed in the brain cortex (at protein level). Widely expressed with the highest level of expression in the brain (nerve fibers, varicosities, and nerve endings). In the brain, the regions where it can be mainly found are the cerebellar cortex, the neocortex, the striatum, and the hippocampal formation |

Background
The huntingtin gene, also called HTT or HD(Huntington disease) gene, is the IT15(interesting transcript 15") gene which codes for a protein called the huntingtin protein. It is mapped to 4p16.3. The protein has no sequence homology with other proteins and is highly expressed in neurons and tests in humans and rodents. HTT upregulates the expression of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor(BDNF) at the transcription level
