GTF2H5 general transcription factor IIH subunit 5

Gene ID: 404672, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TTD; TFB5; TTD3; TTDA; TFIIH; TTD-A; TGF2H5; C6orf175; bA120J8.2

Summary

This gene encodes a subunit of transcription/repair factor TFIIH, which functions in gene transcription and DNA repair. This protein stimulates ERCC3/XPB ATPase activity to trigger DNA opening during DNA repair, and is implicated in regulating cellular levels of TFIIH. Mutations in this gene result in trichothiodystrophy, complementation group A. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
