Gene: VENTXP5 - VENT homeobox pseudogene 5 - (NCBI)

Homeobox genes encode DNA-binding proteins, many of which are thought to be involved in early embryonic development. Homeobox genes encode a DNA-binding domain of 60 to 63 amino acids referred to as the homeodomain. This pseudogene is a member of the Vent homeobox gene family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
