Anti-Huntingtin Interacting Protein 1 (HIP1, HIP I, ILWEQ, MGC126506)

Huntingtin disease, a neurodegenerate disease, is caused by the expansion of a polymorphic glutamine tract in huntingtin. The Huntingtin Interacting Protein 1 (HIP-1) is a reportedly proapoptotic, cargo-specific adaptor protein that may be involved in the pathogenesis of Huntingtin disease. In addition to playing a role in Huntingtin disease, it is likely to be involved in the recruitment of clathrin coats to lipid membranes and it may also factor in tumorigenesis by allowing the survival of precancerous and cancerous cells. Since HIP-1 expression is significantly associated with prostate and colon cancer metastasis, HIP-1 can serve as a putative prognostic factor for prostate and colon cancers. Cellular Localization: Cytoplasm , Applications: , Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
