ERCC3 ERCC excision repair 3, TFIIH core complex helicase subunit

Gene ID: 2071, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: XPB; BTF2; Ssl2; TTD2; GTF2H; RAD25; TFIIH

Summary

This gene encodes an ATP-dependent DNA helicase that functions in nucleotide excision repair. The encoded protein is a subunit of basal transcription factor 2 (TFIIH) and, therefore, also functions in class II transcription. Mutations in this gene are associated with Xeroderma pigmentosum B, Cockayne's syndrome, and trichothiodystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
