SMCR8
SMCR8-C9orf72 complex subunit | DENND8A, FLJ34716

Enables GTPase activator activity; protein kinase binding activity; and protein kinase inhibitor activity. Contributes to guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in negative regulation of gene expression; regulation of TOR signaling; and regulation of macroautophagy. Located in Atg1/ULK1 kinase complex; chromatin; and nucleoplasm. Part of guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

SMCR8 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating SMCR8 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for SMCR8. 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 = SMCR8 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 SMCR8

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of SMCR8, 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.
