The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000172059 (KLF11, KLF transcription factor 11) is as follows. Transcription factor (PubMed:10207080, PubMed:9748269). Activates the epsilon- and gamma-globin gene promoters and, to a much lower degree, the beta-globin gene and represses promoters containing SP1-like binding inhibiting cell growth (PubMed:10207080, PubMed:16131492, PubMed:9748269). Represses transcription of SMAD7 which enhances TGF-beta signaling (By similarity). Induces apoptosis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K1S5, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10207080, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16131492}.
