NKX3-2
NK3 homeobox 2 | NKX3.2, NKX3B, BAPX1

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; negative regulation of chondrocyte differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including intestinal epithelial cell development; middle ear morphogenesis; and skeletal system development. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

NKX3-2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating NKX3-2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for NKX3-2. 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 = NKX3-2 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 NKX3-2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of NKX3-2, 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.
