{"symbol":"VENTX","synonyms":["NA88A","HPX42B","VENTX2"],"name":"VENT homeobox","description":"This 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.
