TMEM79
transmembrane protein 79 | FLJ16057, FLJ32254, MATT, MGC13102

Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including epithelial cell maturation; establishment of skin barrier; and positive regulation of epidermis development. Predicted to act upstream of or within cornification; cuticle development; and hair follicle morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; lysosome; and membrane. Predicted to be active in lysosomal membrane and trans-Golgi network membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

TMEM79 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating TMEM79 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for TMEM79. 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 = TMEM79 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 TMEM79

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of TMEM79, 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.
