Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA binding activity; TFIID-class transcription factor complex binding activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Predicted to contribute to 3' overhang single-stranded DNA endodeoxyribonuclease activity and DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including response to cadmium ion; response to immobilization stress; and response to sucrose. Located in nucleus. Used to study lung carcinoma. Biomarker of alcohol use disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including bone cancer (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); cerebrooculofacioskeletal syndrome 4; hematologic cancer (multiple); and transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human ERCC1 (ERCC excision repair 1, endonuclease non-catalytic subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
