KLF15
KLF transcription factor 15 | KKLF

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of peptidyl-lysine acetylation and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nuclear speck.

KLF15 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating KLF15 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for KLF15. 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 = KLF15 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 KLF15

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of KLF15, 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.
