MTF2
metal response element binding transcription factor 2 | M96, PCL2, TDRD19A

Enables methylated histone binding activity and transcription corepressor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic; segment specification; and stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

MTF2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating MTF2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for MTF2. 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 = MTF2 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 MTF2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of MTF2, 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.
