Gene information for ERCC8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1161
Official gene symbolERCC8
Full nameexcision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency, complementation group 8
Aliases,CKN1,CSA,
Gene summaryThis 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]
