Das XPD-Protein ist ein zentraler Baustein unseres körpereigenen „DNA-Reparaturteams“, der sogenannten Nukleotid-Exzisions-Reparatur (NER). Wie ein Suchhund legt die NER markierte Schadstellen frei, spürt beschädigte DNA auf und rekrutiert andere Reparaturproteine, um die defekten Abschnitte auszuschneiden und zu ersetzen. Bei gesunden Menschen verhindert XPD zum Beispiel die Entstehung von Hautkrebs, indem es durch UV-Strahlung geschädigte DNA erkennt und repariert.
