EBF1 EBF transcription factor 1

ENSG00000164330 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Key pioneer transcription factor of B-cell specification and commitment (PubMed:27807034). Recognizes variations of the palindromic sequence 5'-ATTCCCNNGGGAATT-3'. Operates in a transcription factor network to activate B-cell-specific genes and repress genes associated with alternative cell fates. For instance, positively regulates many B- cell specific genes including BCR or CD40 while repressing genes that direct cells into alternative lineages, including GATA3 and TCF7 for the T-cell lineage. In addition to its role during lymphopoiesis, controls the thermogenic gene program in adipocytes during development and in response to environmental cold (By similarity). .

In 12 of 15 cancers, the evidence for EBF1 comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.1460999995470047 (upper bound 0.24782000482082367). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.
