ZSCAN20
zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 20 | KOX29, ZNF31, ZNF360

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

ZSCAN20 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating ZSCAN20 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ZSCAN20. 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 = ZSCAN20 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 ZSCAN20

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ZSCAN20, 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.
