PKN2
protein kinase N2 | PRK2, Pak-2, STK7, PRKCL2

Enables RNA polymerase binding activity; histone deacetylase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including apical junction assembly; positive regulation of cell cycle; and positive regulation of viral genome replication. Located in several cellular components, including cleavage furrow; cytoskeleton; and midbody. Part of protein-containing complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

PKN2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating PKN2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for PKN2. 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 = PKN2 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 PKN2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of PKN2, 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.
