OLIG3
oligodendrocyte transcription factor 3 | Bhlhb7, bHLHe20

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in axon development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and sensory organ development. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; spinal cord motor neuron cell fate specification; and spinal cord motor neuron migration. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

OLIG3 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating OLIG3 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for OLIG3. 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 = OLIG3 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 OLIG3

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of OLIG3, 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.
