ERCC1

This antibody reacts with a 33-36 kDa protein known as ERCC1 (excision repair cross complementing) polypeptide. ERCC1 is required for nucleotide excision repair of damaged DNA and is homologous to RAD10. In mammalian cells, XPG cleaves 3’ of the DNA lesion while ERCC1-XPF complex makes the 5’ incision.
