PLAC8
placenta associated 8 | C15, onzin

Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; defense response to bacterium; and response to cold. Predicted to be located in azurophil granule lumen and extracellular region. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

PLAC8 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating PLAC8 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for PLAC8. 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 = PLAC8 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 PLAC8

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of PLAC8, 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.
