Description
Product Characteristics: This gene encodes a DNA-binding protein that is important in transcription-coupled excision repair. The protein has ATP-stimulated ATPase activity, there are contradictory publications reporting presence or absence of helicase activity. The protein appears to interact with several transcription and excision repair proteins, and may promote complex formation at repair sites. Mutations in this gene result in Cockayne syndrome type B. Synonyms: Monoclonal ERCC6 antibody, Anti-ERCC6 antibody, Excision repair cross complementing rodent repair deficiency, complementation group 6 antibody, CSB antibody, CKN2 antibody, COFS antibody, ARMD5 antibody, COFS1 antibody, RAD26 antibody.
Target Information: This gene encodes a DNA-binding protein that is important in transcription-coupled excision repair. The encoded protein has ATP-stimulated ATPase activity, interacts with several transcription and excision repair proteins, and may promote complex formation at DNA repair sites. Mutations in this gene are associated with Cockayne syndrome type B and cerebrooculofacioskeletal syndrome 1. Naturally-occurring readthrough transcription occurs between this gene and the adjacent PGBD3 gene (GeneID:267004), and results in a fusion protein that shares sequence with the product of each individual gene. The readthrough locus is represented by GeneID:101243544. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]
