JUNB
JunB proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleoplasm. Part of transcription factor AP-1 complex. Implicated in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Biomarker of gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung non-small cell carcinoma; and lymphoma (multiple). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

JUNB — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating JUNB 0 TFs

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

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