TFIIH subunit XPD is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ERCC2 (ERCC excision repair 2) gene. It is a component of the general transcription and DNA repair factor IIH (TFIIH) core complex involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair.

Along with XPB, XPD is a part of human transcriptional initiation factor TFIIH and has ATP-dependent helicase activity.^[5] It belongs to the RAD3/XPD subfamily of helicases.

The XPD (ERCC2) gene encodes for a 2.3-kb mRNA containing 22 exons and 21 introns. The XPD protein contains 760 amino acids and is a polypeptide with a size of 87kDa. Defects in this gene can result in three different disorders: the cancer-prone syndrome xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D, photosensitive trichothiodystrophy, and Cockayne syndrome.^[6]

XPD is essential for the viability of cells. Deletion of XPD in mice is lethal for developing embryos.^[7]

XPD helicase is also employed in p53-mediated apoptotic cell death.^[8]
