The product of this gene functions in the nucleotide excision repair pathway, and is required for the repair of DNA lesions such as those induced by UV light or formed by electrophilic compounds including cisplatin. The encoded protein forms a heterodimer with the XPF endonuclease (also known as ERCC4), and the heterodimeric endonuclease catalyzes the 5' incision in the process of excising the DNA lesion. The heterodimeric endonuclease is also involved in recombinational DNA repair and in the repair of inter-strand crosslinks. Mutations in this gene result in cerebrooculofacioskeletal syndrome, and polymorphisms that alter expression of this gene may play a role in carcinogenesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The last exon of this gene overlaps with the CD3e molecule, epsilon associated protein gene on the opposite strand. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009] CIViC Summary for ERCC1 Gene
A study in mice demonstrated that ionizing radiation affects the expression of a series of genes, including those involved in the P53 pathway, with a reduction in SIRT1 mRNA and protein observed in bone marrow cells [Dai et al. DOI:10.1080/09553000600857389]. In humans, the mRNA expression level of the ERCC1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells declines in an age-dependent manner, providing a correlation (r = -0.578) that supports its use for forensic age estimation, with a derived quadratic model for this purpose [Deng et al. DOI:10.1016/j.jflm.2017.05.005]. In rats exposed to blast wave trauma, whole-brain mRNA analysis showed that the ERCC1 was upregulated at 2 hours after a 5 psi blast exposure, with no significant early change after 10-11 psi, and a subsequent upregulation at 72 hours following a more severe 14-15 psi exposure, indicating a DNA repair response that varied with injury intensity and time [Balaban et al. DOI:10.1016/j.jneumeth.2016.02.001].
