GenAge entry for ERCC3 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 104)

HGNC symbol: ERCC3
Aliases: XPB; BTF2; RAD25; TFIIH; GTF2H
Common name: excision repair cross-complementation group 3

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to a pathway or mechanism linked to ageing
Description: ERCC3 is a helicase and a component of the TFIIH basal transcription factor [544]. Mutations in ERCC3 cause Xeroderma Pigmentosum group B [547]. Due to its role in DNA repair in association with the other ERCC proteins, some of which directly related to ageing in mammals, it is possible ERCC3 plays a role in human ageing.
