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, and this gene is required for normal development. The HTT protein is involved in vesicle trafficking as it interacts with HIP1, a clathrin-binding protein, to mediate endocytosis, the absorption of materials into a cell. HTT was also visualized as punctate staining likely to represent nerve endings. What's more, wildtype HTT may function in the nucleus in the assembly of nuclear matrix-bound protein complexes involved with transcriptional repression and RNA processing.

Host

Rabbit

Reactivity

Human,Mouse,Rat

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Huntingtin, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by two amino acids.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

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. .
