Notes:
Abstract Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder which is associated with CAG expansion in the coding region of the gene for huntingtin protein. Recently, a huntingtin interacting protein, HIP1, was isolated by the yeast two-hybrid system. Here we report the isolation of a cDNA clone for HIP1R (huntingtin interacting protein-1 related), which encodes a predicted protein product sharing a striking homology with HIP1. RT-PCR analysis showed that the messenger RNA was ubiquitously expressed in various human tissues. Based on PCR-assisted analysis of a radiation hybrid panel and fluorescence in situ hybridization, HIP1R was localized to the q24 region of chromosome 12.
