SETD7
SET domain containing 7, histone lysine methyltransferase | KIAA1717, KMT7, SET7, SET7/9, Set9

Enables histone H3 methyltransferase activity; p53 binding activity; and protein-lysine N-methyltransferase activity. Involved in peptidyl-lysine dimethylation and peptidyl-lysine monomethylation. Acts upstream of or within DNA damage response and heterochromatin organization. Located in chromosome and nucleolus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

SETD7 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating SETD7 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for SETD7. 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 = SETD7 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 SETD7

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of SETD7, 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.
