Summary: Enables TFIID-class transcription factor complex binding activity and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within DNA repair; UV protection; and regulation of autophagy. Predicted to be located in chromosome, telomeric region and nucleus. Predicted to be part of ERCC4-ERCC1 complex and nucleotide-excision repair factor 1 complex. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Used to study xeroderma pigmentosum group F. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fanconi anemia complementation group Q; XFE progeroid syndrome; pancreatic cancer; xeroderma pigmentosum; and xeroderma pigmentosum group F. Orthologous to human ERCC4 (ERCC excision repair 4, endonuclease catalytic subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
