Winged helix repair factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WHR1 gene (previously STK19) and is involved in DNA repair, specifically the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathway.

It used to be called "serine/threonine kinase 19", but this was misleading — although WHR1 was initially identified as a serine/threonine kinase, analysis of the crystal structure revealed absence of the kinase domain and it does not seem to possess any kinase activity.

This gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6 and expresses two transcript variants.
