UBR2
ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component n-recognin 2 | KIAA0349, bA49A4.1, dJ392M17.3, C6orf133

Enables L-leucine binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to L-leucine; protein K63-linked ubiquitination; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

UBR2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating UBR2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for UBR2. 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 = UBR2 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 UBR2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of UBR2, 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.
