Based on limited published evidence, FHIP1A is a probable component of the FTS/Hook/FHIP (FHF) complex that promotes AP-4 complex distribution to the perinuclear region 1. The protein participates in protein binding and transport along microtubules to facilitate perinuclear protein localization. A genomic region near FHIP1A shows association with LDL cholesterol levels in African populations 2. Additionally, the divergent transcript FHIP1A-DT functions as a long non-coding RNA with potential diagnostic and prognostic significance in colorectal cancer 3.
