BSX
brain specific homeobox | BSX1

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including eating behavior; mammary gland involution; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

BSX — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating BSX 0 TFs

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

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