Official Full Name: ERCC excision repair 3, TFIIH core complex helicase subunit
Also known as: XPB; BTF2; Ssl2; TTD2; GTF2H; RAD25; TFIIH
This gene encodes an ATP-dependent DNA helicase that functions in nucleotide excision repair. The encoded protein is a subunit of basal transcription factor 2 (TFIIH) and, therefore, also functions in class II transcription. Mutations in this gene are associated with Xeroderma pigmentosum B, Cockayne's syndrome, and trichothiodystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
