The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000147180 (ZNF711, ZFX family zinc finger ZNF711) is as follows. Transcription regulator required for brain development (PubMed:20346720). Probably acts as a transcription factor that binds to the promoter of target genes and recruits PHF8 histone demethylase, leading to activated expression of genes involved in neuron development, such as KDM5C (PubMed:20346720, PubMed:31691806). May compete with transcription factor ARX for activation of expression of KDM5C (PubMed:31691806). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20346720, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31691806}.
