The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000176887 (SOX11, SRY-box transcription factor 11) is as follows. Transcription factor that acts as a transcriptional activator (PubMed:24886874, PubMed:26543203). Binds cooperatively with POU3F2/BRN2 or POU3F1/OCT6 to gene promoters, which enhances transcriptional activation (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional activator of TEAD2 by binding to its gene promoter and first intron (By similarity). Plays a redundant role with SOX4 and SOX12 in cell survival of developing tissues such as the neural tube, branchial arches and somites, thereby contributing to organogenesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q7M6Y2, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24886874, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26543203}.
