TFEB
transcription factor EB | TCFEB, bHLHe35

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; enzyme binding activity; and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including antibacterial innate immune response; cellular response to amino acid starvation; and positive regulation of metabolic process. Located in cytosol and lysosomal membrane. Is active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

TFEB — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating TFEB 0 TFs

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

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