SLC1A4
solute carrier family 1 member 4 | ASCT-1, ASCT1, SATT

The protein encoded by this gene is a sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter for alanine, serine, cysteine, and threonine. Defects in this gene have been associated with developmental delay, microcephaly, and intellectual disability. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]

SLC1A4 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating SLC1A4 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for SLC1A4. 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 = SLC1A4 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 SLC1A4

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of SLC1A4, 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.
