NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a zinc finger protein plays a central role in nucleotide excision repair (NER), a specialized type of DNA repair. NER is responsible for repair of UV radiation-induced photoproducts and DNA adducts induced by chemical carcinogens and chemotherapeutic drugs. The encoded protein interacts with DNA and several NER proteins, acting as a scaffold to assemble the NER incision complex at sites of DNA damage. Mutations in this gene cause Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XP-A), an autosomal recessive skin disorder featuring hypersensitivity to sunlight and increased risk for skin cancer.

Uniprot Description
XPA: Involved in DNA excision repair. Initiates repair by binding to damaged sites with various affinities, depending on the photoproduct and the transcriptional state of the region. Required for UV-induced CHEK1 phosphorylation and the recruitment of CEP164 to cyclobutane pyrimidine dimmers (CPD), sites of DNA damage after UV irradiation. Interacts with GPN1 and RPA1. Interacts (via N-terminus) with CEP164 upon UV irradiation. Interacts with HERC2. Expressed in various cell lines and in skin fibroblasts. Belongs to the XPA family.

Product Notes
The Human, Mouse XPA xpa (Catalog #AAA9500631) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9500631 ELISA Kit recognizes Human, Mouse XPA. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "XPA, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
