PRMT2
protein arginine methyltransferase 2 | MGC111373, HRMT1L1

Enables several functions, including nuclear receptor binding activity; peroxisome proliferator activated receptor binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of androgen receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm.

PRMT2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating PRMT2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for PRMT2. 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 = PRMT2 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 PRMT2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of PRMT2, 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.
