Gene Protein Transcript Promoter Expression GO/PPI PubMed Cross reference

Gene information for XPA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7507
Official gene symbolXPA
Full namexeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group A
Aliases,XP1,XPAC,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a zinc finger protein involved in DNA excision repair. The encoded protein is part of the NER (nucleotide excision repair) complext which is responsible for repair of UV radiation-induced photoproducts and DNA adducts induced by chemical carcinogens. Mutations in this gene are associated with xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
