ARHGEF6
Rac/Cdc42 guanine nucleotide exchange factor 6 | Cool-2, Cool2, KIAA0006, alpha-PIX, alphaPIX, αPix, MRX46

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 belongs to a family of cytoplasmic proteins that activate the Ras-like family of Rho proteins by exchanging bound GDP for GTP. It may form a complex with G proteins and stimulate Rho-dependent signals. This protein is activated by PI3-kinase. Mutations in this gene can cause X-chromosomal non-specific cognitive disability.

ARHGEF6 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating ARHGEF6 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ARHGEF6. 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 = ARHGEF6 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 ARHGEF6

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ARHGEF6, 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.
