ARHGEF2
Rho/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 | GEF-H1, GEFH1, KIAA0651, LFP40, Lfc, P40

Rho GTPases play a fundamental role in numerous cellular processes that are initiated by extracellular stimuli that work through G protein coupled receptors. The encoded protein may form complex with G proteins and stimulate rho-dependent signals. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]

ARHGEF2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating ARHGEF2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ARHGEF2. 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 = ARHGEF2 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 ARHGEF2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ARHGEF2, 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.
