Summary: Predicted to enable damaged DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including DNA repair; determination of adult lifespan; and response to UV-C. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in xeroderma pigmentosum and xeroderma pigmentosum group A. Orthologous to human XPA (XPA, DNA damage recognition and repair factor).
