KNSTRN
kinetochore localized astrin (SPAG5) binding protein | FLJ14502, SKAP, TRAF4AF1, kinastrin, C15orf23

Enables microtubule plus-end binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; mitotic sister chromatid segregation; and regulation of attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochore. Located in several cellular components, including kinetochore; microtubule cytoskeleton; and ruffle. Implicated in actinic keratosis and skin squamous cell carcinoma.

KNSTRN — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating KNSTRN 0 TFs

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

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