Q92889

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ERCC4

Target Full Name

DNA repair endonuclease XPF

Target Function

Catalytic component of a structure-specific DNA repair endonuclease responsible for the 5-prime incision during DNA repair. Involved in homologous recombination that assists in removing interstrand cross-link.

Target Involvement

Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group F (XP-F); XFE progeroid syndrome (XFEPS); Xeroderma pigmentosum type F/Cockayne syndrome (XPF/CS); Fanconi anemia complementation group Q (FANCQ)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene forms a complex with ERCC1 and is involved in the 5' incision made during nucleotide excision repair. This complex is a structure specific DNA repair endonuclease that interacts with EME1. Defects in this gene are a cause of xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group F (XP-F), or xeroderma pigmentosum VI (XP6).
