ERCC1 (DNA excision repair protein ERCC-1) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, a biomarker and a DNA repair gene, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Bladder & urothelial cancer, Mesothelioma, Ovarian cancer and 1 more.
Non-catalytic component of a structure-specific DNA repair endonuclease responsible for the 5'-incision during DNA repair. Responsible, in conjunction with SLX4, for the first step in the repair of interstrand cross-links (ICL). Participates in the processing of anaphase bridge-generating DNA structures, which consist in incompletely processed DNA lesions arising during S or G2 phase, and can result in cytokinesis failure.
CIViC holds 11 clinical evidence items and 0 assertions across 3 variants, naming Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, Platinum Compound and Paclitaxel and others.

No product in this corpus aims at ERCC1 yet. Drugs bind the molecule precisely: to switch it off, flag the cell for the immune system, or deliver a payload.
Broadly expressed or essential: HPA finds the RNA at low tissue specificity; a medicine acting on the wild-type protein would expose normal tissue too. HPA ERCC1: RNA low tissue specificity; high antibody staining in 11 normal tissues; highest cancer staining melanoma (1 of 11 high). Distribution: 4 cancer families in the corpus carry a prevalence row, label threshold or catalogue link for it (Bladder & urothelial cancer, Mesothelioma, Ovarian cancer, Lung cancer (all types)); Open Targets associates it with 0 specific cancer types at or above 0.5. (Rule 7 of scripts/fetch-target-specificity.ts.)

Non-catalytic component of a structure-specific DNA repair endonuclease responsible for the 5'-incision during DNA repair. Responsible, in conjunction with SLX4, for the first step in the repair of interstrand cross-links (ICL). Participates in the processing of anaphase bridge-generating DNA structures, which consist in incompletely processed DNA lesions arising during S or G2 phase, and can result in cytokinesis failure. Also required for homology-directed repair (HDR) of DNA double-strand breaks, in conjunction with SLX4. Not functional in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. Not functional in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. Location: Nucleus; Cytoplasm (UniProt). Locus 19q13.32 (HGNC).
RNA: low tissue specificity, detected in all normal tissues.
Medium: Adipose tissue, Appendix, Bone marrow, Breast, Caudate, Cerebellum, Cerebral cortex, Endometrium.
Medium only: breast cancer, carcinoid, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer.
