EIF2B5
eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit epsilon | EIF-2B, EIF2Bepsilon

This gene encodes one of five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), a GTP exchange factor for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and an essential regulator for protein synthesis. Mutations in this gene and the genes encoding other EIF2B subunits have been associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

EIF2B5 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating EIF2B5 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for EIF2B5. 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 = EIF2B5 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 EIF2B5

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of EIF2B5, 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.
