DDB1

damage-specific DNA binding protein 1, 127kDa

On chromosome: 11q12-q13
Known also as: XPE; DDBA; XAP1; XPCE; XPE-BF; UV-DDB1;


NCBI Gene ID: 1642
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000167986
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 600045
Species: Homo sapiens

This gene encodes the large subunit of DNA damage-binding protein which is a heterodimer composed of a large and a small subunit. This protein functions in nucleotide-excision repair. Its defective activity causes the repair defect in the patients with xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group E (XPE). However, it remains for mutation analysis to demonstrate whether the defect in XPE patients is in this gene or the gene encoding the small subunit. In addition, Best vitelliform mascular dystrophy is mapped to the same region as this gene on 11q, but no sequence alternations of this gene are demonstrated in Best disease patients.
