SOX11 Transcription Factor
SRY-box transcription factor 11

This intronless gene encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional regulator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. The protein may function in the developing nervous system and play a role in tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Genes regulated by SOX11

Genes likely regulated by SOX11 through linked binding evidence in open chromatin. The chart ranks TF-linked genes by their mean Perturb-seq response to SOX11 knockdown, with negative coefficients indicating downregulation and positive coefficients indicating upregulation upon knockdown.

Regulatory Elements bound by the TF

Open chromatin elements (ATAC-seq) where SOX11 has ChIP-seq or motif footprint binding evidence and which are linked to at least one target gene region.

SOX11 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating SOX11 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for SOX11. 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 = SOX11 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 SOX11

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of SOX11, 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.
