OR10G2
Description
The OR10G2 (olfactory receptor family 10 subfamily G member 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 14.
The OR10G2 gene encodes a protein called olfactory receptor 10G2. This protein plays a role in our sense of smell by interacting with odorant molecules in the nose. It triggers a neuronal response, ultimately leading to the perception of a smell. Olfactory receptors are part of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are involved in sensing and responding to various stimuli. These receptors share a common structure with seven transmembrane domains, which allows them to interact with odorant molecules and initiate signaling pathways. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the human genome, highlighting the complexity and diversity of our sense of smell.
Odorant receptor.
OR10G2 is also known as OR14-41.
