PLAAT3
phospholipase A and acyltransferase 3 | AdPLA, H-REV107-1, HREV107, HREV107-3, MGC118754., PLAAT-3, HRASLS3, PLA2G16

Enables N-acyltransferase activity; lipid binding activity; and phospholipase activity. Involved in N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including lysosome; nuclear envelope; and peroxisome. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Biomarker of seminoma.

PLAAT3 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating PLAAT3 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for PLAAT3. 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 = PLAAT3 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 PLAAT3

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of PLAAT3, 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.
