OR11H4
Description
The OR11H4 (olfactory receptor family 11 subfamily H member 4) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 14.
OR11H4 is a protein encoded by the OR11H4 gene in humans. It acts as an olfactory receptor, meaning it interacts with odorant molecules in the nose to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. These receptors are part of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome, with a unique nomenclature assigned to each receptor in humans. OR11H4 has been identified to interact with Isovaleric acid, an odorant molecule.
OR11H4 is an olfactory receptor protein that plays a role in the sense of smell. It interacts with odorant molecules, specifically Isovaleric acid, to initiate a neuronal response in the nose, which leads to the perception of a smell.
OR11H4 is also known as OR14-36.
