Function ATP-dependent 5'-3' DNA helicase, component of the core- TFIIH basal transcription factor. Involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) of DNA by opening DNA around the damage, and in RNA transcription by RNA polymerase II by anchoring the CDK-activating kinase (CAK) complex, composed of CDK7, cyclin H and MAT1, to the core-TFIIH complex. Involved in the regulation of vitamin-D receptor activity. As part of the mitotic spindle-associated MMXD complex it plays a role in chromosome segregation. Might have a role in aging process and could play a causative role in the generation of skin cancers. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10024882, ECO:0000269PubMed:15494306, ECO:0000269PubMed:20797633, ECO:0000269PubMed:8413672}.

Disease Associations Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XP-D) [MIM:278730]: An autosomal recessive pigmentary skin disorder characterized by solar hypersensitivity of the skin, high predisposition for developing cancers on areas exposed to sunlight and, in some cases, neurological abnormalities. The skin develops marked freckling and other pigmentation abnormalities. Some XP-D patients present features of Cockayne syndrome, including cachectic dwarfism, pigmentary retinopathy, ataxia, decreased nerve conduction velocities. The phenotype combining xeroderma pigmentosum and Cockayne syndrome traits is referred to as XP-CS complex. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11709541, ECO:0000269PubMed:7585650, ECO:0000269PubMed:7825573, ECO:0000269PubMed:7849702, ECO:0000269PubMed:9101292}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Trichothiodystrophy photosensitive (TTDP) [MIM:601675]: TTDP is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by sulfur- deficient brittle hair and nails, ichthyosis, mental retardation, impaired sexual development, abnormal facies and cutaneous photosensitivity correlated with a nucleotide excision repair (NER) defect. Neonates with trichothiodystrophy and ichthyosis are usually born with a collodion membrane. The severity of the ichthyosis after the membrane is shed is variable, ranging from a mild to severe lamellar ichthyotic phenotype. There are no reports of skin cancer associated with TTDP. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11242112, ECO:0000269PubMed:7920640, ECO:0000269PubMed:8571952, ECO:0000269PubMed:9195225, ECO:0000269PubMed:9238033, ECO:0000269PubMed:9758621}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome 2 (COFS2) [MIM:610756]: A disorder of prenatal onset characterized by microcephaly, congenital cataracts, facial dysmorphism, neurogenic arthrogryposis, growth failure and severe psychomotor retardation. COFS is considered to be part of the nucleotide-excision repair disorders spectrum that include also xeroderma pigmentosum, trichothiodystrophy and Cockayne syndrome. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11443545}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
