The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000142528 (ZNF473, zinc finger protein 473) is as follows. Involved in histone 3'-end pre-mRNA processing by associating with U7 snRNP and interacting with SLBP/pre-mRNA complex. Increases histone 3'-end pre-mRNA processing but has no effect on U7 snRNP levels, when overexpressed. Required for cell cycle progression from G1 to S phases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11782445, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16714279, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16914750}.
