UVSSA UV stimulated scaffold protein A

Gene ID: 57654, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: UVSS3; KIAA1530

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene appears to be involved in ubiquitination and dephosphorylation of RNA polymerase II subunits that stall after UV irradiation. The encoded protein interacts with several members of the nucleotide excision repair complex, and is thought to be involved in the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathway to help remove lesions in the DNA that block transcription. Defects in this gene can cause UV-sensitive syndrome 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
