Winged Helix Repair Factor 1

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Winged helix repair factor 1 (254 aa, ~28 kDa) is encoded by the human WHR1 gene. This protein plays a role in the assembly and activity of the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) complex that is recruited to DNA lesions where transcription via the RNA polymerase II complex has stalled.
