ZNF268
zinc finger protein 268 | HZF3

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of non-canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Located in cytosol and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

ZNF268 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating ZNF268 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ZNF268. 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 = ZNF268 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 ZNF268

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ZNF268, 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.
