FLT4
fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 4 | PCL, VEGFR-3, VEGFR3

This gene encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor for vascular endothelial growth factors C and D. The protein is thought to be involved in lymphangiogenesis and maintenance of the lymphatic endothelium. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary lymphedema type IA. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Expression (TPM)
FLT4 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating FLT4 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for FLT4. 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 = FLT4 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 FLT4

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of FLT4, 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.
