Disease
ZN711_HUMAN X-linked non-syndromic intellectual disability. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
ZN711_HUMAN 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).[1] [2]
