It is known to contain a protein domain domain homologous to the death effector domain s DED found on proteins involved in apoptosis . It is believed that accumulation of high levels of the free form of this protein free as in dissociated from the huntingtin and free to bind other key protein s in the cell is one of the mechanisms by which neuron cell death is caused in Huntington s Disease via the caspase 3 route . The role of Hip 1 in caspase mediated cell death remains unclear. Huntingtin interacting protein 1 HIP1 was first identified by Wanker et al. in 1997. ref Wanker, E. E., C. Rovira, et al. 1997 .

This project studied a kindred with an unusually high prevalence of HD. In 1983 a marker for gene was found, and in the next decade, with further HDF involvement the exact gene Huntingtin was found.
