SMC2
structural maintenance of chromosomes 2 | CAP-E, hCAP-E, SMC2L1

Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Involved in mitotic chromosome condensation and positive regulation of chromosome condensation. Located in condensed chromosome; cytoplasm; and nuclear lumen. Part of condensin complex. Implicated in colon adenocarcinoma. Biomarker of colorectal cancer.

SMC2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating SMC2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for SMC2. 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 = SMC2 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 SMC2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of SMC2, 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.
