ZNFX1
Description
ZNFX1, also known as zinc finger X-linked 1, is a gene located on the X chromosome. It encodes a protein with multiple zinc finger domains, which are known to bind to DNA and regulate gene expression. ZNFX1 plays a crucial role in various developmental processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Its involvement in these processes makes it a potential target for therapeutic interventions in diseases such as cancer. ZNFX1 has been linked to different types of cancer, and its expression levels may be associated with tumor growth and metastasis.

ZNFX1 is located in a region of the X chromosome that is known as the "male-specific region". This means that males, who have only one X chromosome, are more likely to be affected by mutations in this gene.
