Gene Summary

Gene Summary

ERCC2（Excision Repair Cross-Complementation Group 2）是一种关键的DNA修复基因，属于核苷酸切除修复（NER）通路中的核心成员。它编码的蛋白质是转录因子IIH（TFIIH）复合物的组成部分，该复合物在DNA损伤修复和转录调控中起重要作用。ERCC2的主要功能是通过其DNA解旋酶活性参与识别和修复由紫外线（UV）或化学物质引起的DNA损伤，特别是嘧啶二聚体等大体积损伤。该基因在维持基因组稳定性中至关重要，其突变会导致修复功能缺陷，引发严重的遗传病如着色性干皮病（XP）、科凯恩综合征（CS）或毛发硫营养不良（TTD），患者表现为对光敏感、早衰或神经发育异常。ERCC2属于ERCC基因家族，该家族成员均参与DNA修复，特别是NER通路，共同特点是能够识别并切除受损DNA片段，确保遗传信息完整性。若ERCC2表达降低，细胞会积累DNA损伤，增加突变率和癌症风险（如皮肤癌）；而过度表达虽可能增强修复能力，但可能干扰正常细胞周期调控。ERCC2突变还与多种癌症易感性相关，例如肺癌和膀胱癌，其单核苷酸多态性（SNP）可作为生物标志物预测癌症风险或化疗反应。研究还发现ERCC2与其他修复基因（如XPA、XPC）协同作用，其功能异常会影响整个NER通路效率。

ChineseEnglish

The nucleotide excision repair pathway is a mechanism to repair damage to DNA. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair and is an integral member of the basal transcription factor BTF2/TFIIH complex. The gene product has ATP-dependent DNA helicase activity and belongs to the RAD3/XPD subfamily of helicases. Defects in this gene can result in three different disorders, the cancer-prone syndrome xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D, trichothiodystrophy, and Cockayne syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
