Description

xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group C

Gene Summary

Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and damaged DNA binding activity. Involved in UV-damage excision repair and nucleotide-excision repair. Acts upstream of or within mitotic intra-S DNA damage checkpoint signaling; pyrimidine dimer repair by nucleotide-excision repair; and response to UV-B. Located in nucleus. Is active in site of DNA damage. Is expressed in embryo. Used to study lung cancer and xeroderma pigmentosum group C. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer; serous cystadenocarcinoma; xeroderma pigmentosum; and xeroderma pigmentosum group C. Orthologous to human XPC (XPC complex subunit, DNA damage recognition and repair factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 2025]
