KDM1A
lysine demethylase 1A | BHC110, KIAA0601, LSD1, AOF2, KDM1

This gene encodes a nuclear protein containing a SWIRM domain, a FAD-binding motif, and an amine oxidase domain. This protein is a component of several histone deacetylase complexes, though it silences genes by functioning as a histone demethylase. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

KDM1A — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating KDM1A 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for KDM1A. 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 = KDM1A 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 KDM1A

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of KDM1A, 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.
