FOXB1
forkhead box B1 | FKH5, HFKH-5

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mammary gland development; nervous system development; and visual learning. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

FOXB1 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating FOXB1 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for FOXB1. 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 = FOXB1 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 FOXB1

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of FOXB1, 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.
