NLK
nemo like kinase

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of TORC1 signaling; protein stabilization; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

NLK — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating NLK 0 TFs

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

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