Gene information for VENTX (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID27287
Official gene symbolVENTX
Full nameVENT homeobox homolog (Xenopus laevis)
Aliases,HPX42B,MGC119910,MGC119911,NA88A,VENTX2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the Vent family of homeodomain proteins. The encoded protein may function as a transcriptional repressor and be involved in mesodermal patterning and hemopoietic stem cell maintenance. Multiple pseudogenes exist for this gene. A transcribed pseudogene located on chromosome X may lead to antigen production in certain melanomas. [provided by RefSeq]
