AKIRIN2
akirin 2 | FLJ10342, dJ486L4.2, C6orf166

Enables enzyme binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in proteasome localization and protein import into nucleus. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on nuclear protein quality control by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Located in nucleoplasm. Is active in nucleus.

AKIRIN2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating AKIRIN2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for AKIRIN2. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = AKIRIN2 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to AKIRIN2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of AKIRIN2, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
