FOXJ2
forkhead box J2 | FHX

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of angiogenesis; negative regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell differentiation; and positive regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation. Located in fibrillar center and nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

FOXJ2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating FOXJ2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for FOXJ2. 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 = FOXJ2 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 FOXJ2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of FOXJ2, 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.
