ARHGAP44
Rho GTPase activating protein 44 | KIAA0672, RICH-2, RICH2

Enables phospholipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of Rac protein signal transduction; regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization; and regulation of plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization. Located in leading edge membrane. Implicated in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and skin melanoma. Biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma and lung carcinoma.

ARHGAP44 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating ARHGAP44 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ARHGAP44. 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 = ARHGAP44 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 ARHGAP44

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ARHGAP44, 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.
