BHLHA15
basic helix-loop-helix family member a15 | MIST1, BHLHB8

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose starvation; endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; and negative regulation of myotube differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin; epithelial cell maturation; and intracellular distribution of mitochondria. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

BHLHA15 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating BHLHA15 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for BHLHA15. 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 = BHLHA15 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 BHLHA15

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of BHLHA15, 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.
