ELF2
E74 like ETS transcription factor 2 | EU32, NERF, NERF-1A, NERF-1B, NERF-2

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytosol and nuclear body. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

ELF2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating ELF2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ELF2. 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 = ELF2 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 ELF2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ELF2, 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.
