KDF1
keratinocyte differentiation factor 1 | FLJ34633, RP11-344H11.3, C1orf172

Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of epidermal cell differentiation; regulation of epidermal cell division; and skin epidermis development. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including keratinocyte development; negative regulation of keratinocyte proliferation; and protein stabilization. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cell junction. Implicated in ectodermal dysplasia 12. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

KDF1 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating KDF1 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for KDF1. 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 = KDF1 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 KDF1

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of KDF1, 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.
