NR5A2
nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 2 | B1F2, FTZ-F1, FTZ-F1beta, LRH-1, LRH1, hB1F, hB1F-2, FTF

The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA-binding zinc finger transcription factor and is a member of the fushi tarazu factor-1 subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors. The encoded protein is involved in the expression of genes for hepatitis B virus and cholesterol biosynthesis, and may be an important regulator of embryonic development.

NR5A2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating NR5A2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for NR5A2. 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 = NR5A2 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 NR5A2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of NR5A2, 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.
