ZGLP1 encodes an evolutionary conserved transcriptional regulator with GATA-like zinc fingers. In females, it is expressed in embryonic germ cells and is essential for oogenic fate determination. It acts downstream of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and is involved in the regulation of genes involved in RNA processing, transcription and chromatin modification, retrotransposon regulation, meiotic cell cycle, and oocyte development. In males it is not required for the germ cell sex determination but is required by the spermatogonia for efficiently completing the meiotic prophase. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2022]
Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ZGLP1. 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 = ZGLP1 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ZGLP1, 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.
| Accessibility | Element | Dist. to TSS | Link type | TFs |
