IRX6
iroquois homeobox 6 | IRX-3, IRX7

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; 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 cell development; neuron differentiation; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within detection of visible light; negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and retina morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

IRX6 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating IRX6 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for IRX6. 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 = IRX6 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 IRX6

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of IRX6, 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.
