Template:Short description Template:Infobox gene THAP domain-containing protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the THAP1 gene. The synonyme is DYT6 (Dystonia 6).[1][2][3]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene contains a THAP domain, a conserved DNA-binding domain. This protein colocalizes with the apoptosis response protein PAWR/PAR-4 in promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies, and functions as a proapoptotic factor that links PAWR to PML nuclear bodies. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.[3]

Interactions

THAP1 has been shown to interact with PAWR.[2]

Clinical significance

Thanatos-associated [THAP] domain-containing apoptosis-associated protein 1 (THAP1) is a DNA-binding protein that has been associated with DYT6 dystonia, a hereditary movement disorder involving sustained, involuntary muscle contractions.[4][5]
