HHEX
hematopoietically expressed homeobox | HEX, HOX11L-PEN, PRHX

This gene encodes a member of the homeobox family of transcription factors, many of which are involved in developmental processes. Expression in specific hematopoietic lineages suggests that this protein may play a role in hematopoietic differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

HHEX — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating HHEX 0 TFs

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

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