OR10H1
Description
The OR10H1 (olfactory receptor family 10 subfamily H member 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.
The OR10H1 gene encodes for the Olfactory receptor 10H1 protein, which is involved in smell perception. This protein belongs to a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), responsible for detecting odorant molecules in the nose and triggering a neuronal response that leads to the perception of a smell. The OR10H1 gene is part of the largest gene family in the human genome, dedicated to olfactory receptors.
This protein acts as an odorant receptor, playing a role in the detection and perception of smells.
OR10H1 is also known as -.
