Description

The ERCC6 gene encodes a protein responsible for repairing DNA damaged by oxidative stress, gamma radiation, UV rays and X-rays. The protein is involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair, wherein it is required for the recruitment of numerous repair proteins to form the transcription-coupled repair complex. Mutations in the ERCC6 gene have been associated with a severe subset of Cockayne syndrome.
