OPLAH
Description
The OPLAH gene, also known as the olfactory receptor-like protein A gene, plays a crucial role in the development and function of the brain. It encodes a protein that is expressed in the olfactory bulb, a region of the brain responsible for processing smells. While the precise function of OPLAH protein remains under investigation, research suggests its involvement in neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, and the regulation of neurotransmitter release. This gene has been linked to a variety of neurological conditions, highlighting its importance in maintaining brain health.
