SMURF2
SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2

Enables SMAD binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of trophoblast cell migration; and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in nuclear speck. Part of ubiquitin ligase complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

SMURF2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating SMURF2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for SMURF2. 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 = SMURF2 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 SMURF2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of SMURF2, 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.
