Facts about DNA repair protein complementing XP-C cells.
Has a preference to bind DNA comprising a short single-stranded segment but to not damaged oligonucleotides. This feature is suggested to be connected to a dynamic sensor function: XPC can rapidly screen duplex DNA for non-hydrogen-bonded foundations by forming a transient nucleoprotein intermediate complicated which evolves into a steady recognition complex through an intrinsic single-stranded DNA- binding activity.

Nucleus. Chromosome. Cytoplasm. Omnipresent in the nucleus and consistently associates with and dissociates from DNA in the absence of DNA damage (PubMed:18682493). Continuously shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus, which is impeded by the presence of NER lesions (PubMed:18682493).
