The product of this gene functions in the nucleotide
excision repair pathway, and is required for the repair of DNA
lesions such as those induced by UV light or formed by
electrophilic compounds including cisplatin. The encoded protein
forms a heterodimer with the XPF endonuclease (also known as
ERCC4), and the heterodimeric endonuclease catalyzes the 5'
incision in the process of excising the DNA lesion. The
heterodimeric endonuclease is also involved in recombinational DNA
repair and in the repair of inter-strand crosslinks. Mutations in
this gene result in cerebrooculofacioskeletal syndrome, and
polymorphisms that alter expression of this gene may play a role in
carcinogenesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different
isoforms have been found for this gene. The last exon of this gene
overlaps with the CD3e molecule, epsilon associated protein gene on
the opposite strand.1) Palli, D., et al. Mutagenesis 25(6):569-575(2010)
