OR10J1
Description
The OR10J1 (olfactory receptor family 10 subfamily J member 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
The OR10J1 gene encodes a protein known as olfactory receptor 10J1, which is involved in the sense of smell. Olfactory receptors detect odorant molecules in the nose, triggering a neuronal response that leads to the perception of a smell. OR10J1, like other olfactory receptors, is a member of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are characterized by their seven-transmembrane domain structure. These receptors play a critical role in recognizing and transducing odorant signals via G protein-mediated pathways. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the human genome, and the nomenclature for these genes and proteins is unique to humans.
This protein is an odorant receptor.
OR10J1 is also known as HGMP07J, HSHGMP07J.
