GSX2
GS homeobox 2 | Gsh2

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in generation of neurons; olfactory bulb development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway; and positive regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

GSX2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating GSX2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for GSX2. 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 = GSX2 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 GSX2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of GSX2, 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.
