HMBOX1
homeobox containing 1 | FLJ21616, HNF1LA, HOT1, PBHNF

Enables double-stranded telomeric DNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; telomere maintenance via telomerase; and telomere-telomerase complex assembly. Located in several cellular components, including centrosome; chromosome, telomeric region; and nuclear body. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

HMBOX1 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating HMBOX1 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for HMBOX1. 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 = HMBOX1 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 HMBOX1

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of HMBOX1, 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.
