Disease relevance of Hip2

 

Psychiatry related information on Hip2

  • These results suggest that E2-25K/Hip-2 is a crucial factor in regulating Abeta neurotoxicity and could play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease [1].
 

High impact information on Hip2

  • The role of ER stress in dopaminergic neuronal vulnerability was highlighted by their decreased survival in mice deficient in the ubiquitin-protein ligase Parkin and the ER chaperone ORP150 (150 kDa oxygen-regulated protein) [2].
 

Other interactions of Hip2

  • Further, the ubiquitin mutant, UBB+1, a potent inhibitor of the proteasome which is found in Alzheimer's brains, was colocalized and functionally interacted with E2-25K/Hip-2 in mediating neurotoxicity [1].
