ERCC8

excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency, complementation group 8

On chromosome: 5q12.1
Known also as: CSA; CKN1;


NCBI Gene ID: 1161
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000049167
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 609412
Species: Homo sapiens

This gene encodes a WD repeat protein, which interacts with Cockayne syndrome type B (CSB) protein and with p44 protein, a subunit of the RNA polymerase II transcription factor IIH. Mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with hereditary disease Cockayne syndrome (CS). CS cells are abnormally sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and are defective in the repair of transcriptionally active genes. [provided by RefSeq]
