ERCC5 (human), recombinant protein

Protein function: Single-stranded structure-specific DNA endonuclease involved in DNA excision repair. Makes the 3'incision in DNA nucleotide excision repair (NER). Acts as a cofactor for a DNA glycosylase that removes oxidized pyrimidines from DNA. May also be involved in transcription- coupled repair of this kind of damage, in transcription by RNA polymerase II, and perhaps in other processes too. [The UniProt Consortium]
