ZZEF1
zinc finger ZZ-type and EF-hand domain containing 1 | FLJ10821, KIAA0399, ZZZ4

Enables histone reader activity; lysine-acetylated histone binding activity; and methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including glutamatergic synaptic transmission; regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; and visual learning. Predicted to be located in cell surface; postsynapse; and presynaptic active zone. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

ZZEF1 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating ZZEF1 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for ZZEF1. 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 = ZZEF1 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 ZZEF1

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of ZZEF1, 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.
