ZBTB7B
zinc finger and BTB domain containing 7B | ThPOK, ZBTB15, ZNF857B, c-Krox, hcKrox, vGAF, ZFP67

This gene encodes a zinc finger-containing transcription factor that acts as a key regulator of lineage commitment of immature T-cell precursors. It is necessary and sufficient for commitment of CD4 lineage, while its absence causes CD8 commitment. It also functions as a transcriptional repressor of type I collagen genes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

ZBTB7B — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating ZBTB7B 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ZBTB7B. 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 = ZBTB7B 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 ZBTB7B

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ZBTB7B, 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.
