HES3
hes family bHLH transcription factor 3 | bHLHb43

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of neurogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of timing of neuron differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

HES3 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating HES3 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for HES3. 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 = HES3 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 HES3

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of HES3, 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.
