General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
Assigned HPA protein class(es) for the encoded protein(s).
Cancer-related genes Disease related genes Human disease related genes Plasma proteins
Predicted locationi
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

Single-stranded structure-specific DNA endonuclease involved in DNA excision repair 1,2,3,4,5,6. Makes the 3'incision in DNA nucleotide excision repair (NER) 7,8,9,10. Binds and bends DNA repair bubble substrate and breaks base stacking at the single-strand/double-strand DNA junction of the DNA bubble 11. Plays a role in base excision repair (BER) by promoting the binding of DNA glycosylase NTHL1 to its substrate and increasing NTHL1 catalytic activity that removes oxidized pyrimidines from DNA 12. Involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TCR) which allows RNA polymerase II-blocking lesions to be rapidly removed from the transcribed strand of active genes 13. Functions during the initial step of TCR in cooperation with ERCC6/CSB to recognized stalled RNA polymerase II 14. Also, stimulates ERCC6/CSB binding to the DNA repair bubble and ERCC6/CSB ATPase activity 15. Required for DNA replication fork maintenance and preservation of genomic stability 16,17. Involved in homologous recombination repair (HRR) induced by DNA replication stress by recruiting RAD51, BRCA2, and PALB2 to the damaged DNA site 18. During HRR, binds to the replication fork with high specificity and stabilizes it 19. Also, acts upstream of HRR, to promote the release of BRCA1 from DNA 20....show less

Useful information about the gene from Entrez
This gene encodes a single-strand specific DNA endonuclease that makes the 3' incision in DNA excision repair following UV-induced damage. The protein may also function in other cellular processes, including RNA polymerase II transcription, and transcription-coupled DNA repair. Mutations in this gene cause xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group G (XP-G), which is also referred to as xeroderma pigmentosum VII (XP7), a skin disorder characterized by hypersensitivity to UV light and increased susceptibility for skin cancer development following UV exposure. Some patients also develop Cockayne syndrome, which is characterized by severe growth defects, cognitive disability, and cachexia. Read-through transcription exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream BIVM (basic, immunoglobulin-like variable motif containing) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]...show less
