OR1F1
Description
The OR1F1 (olfactory receptor family 1 subfamily F member 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.
Olfactory receptor 1F1 is a protein encoded by the OR1F1 gene in humans. It's part of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) responsible for smell perception. These receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, triggering a neuronal response that leads to the recognition and transduction of odorant signals. This gene family is the largest in the human genome, and the nomenclature for olfactory receptor genes and proteins is unique to humans.
Odorant receptor.
OR1F1 is also known as OLFMF, OR16-36, OR16-37, OR16-88, OR16-89, OR16-90, OR1F10, OR1F13P, OR1F4, OR1F5, OR1F6, OR1F7, OR1F8, OR1F9, OR3-145, ORL1023.
