The Huntingtin (HTT) N-terminal domains encoded by Huntingtin's (HTT) exon 1 consist of an N17 domain, the polyglutamine (polyQ) stretch and a proline-rich region (PRR). These domains are conserved in mammals and have been hypothesized to modulate HTT's functions in the developing and adult CNS, including DNA damage repair and autophagy.
