STX4
syntaxin 4 | p35-2, STX4A

Enables sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including cornified envelope assembly; positive regulation of immune effector process; and positive regulation of protein localization. Located in several cellular components, including basolateral plasma membrane; cytoplasmic vesicle; and lamellipodium. Part of SNARE complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Expression (TPM)
STX4 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating STX4 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for STX4. 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 = STX4 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 STX4

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of STX4, 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.
