FOXH1 Transcription Factor
forkhead box H1 | FAST1

FOXH1 encodes a human homolog of Xenopus forkhead activin signal transducer-1. FOXH1 protein binds SMAD2 and activates an activin response element via binding the DNA motif TGT(G/T)(T/G)ATT. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Genes regulated by FOXH1

Genes likely regulated by FOXH1 through linked binding evidence in open chromatin. The chart ranks TF-linked genes by their mean Perturb-seq response to FOXH1 knockdown, with negative coefficients indicating downregulation and positive coefficients indicating upregulation upon knockdown.

Regulatory Elements bound by the TF

Open chromatin elements (ATAC-seq) where FOXH1 has ChIP-seq or motif footprint binding evidence and which are linked to at least one target gene region.

FOXH1 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating FOXH1 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for FOXH1. 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 = FOXH1 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 FOXH1

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of FOXH1, 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.
