OR2G6
Description
The OR2G6 (olfactory receptor family 2 subfamily G member 6) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
OR2G6 is a human gene that encodes the olfactory receptor 2G6 protein. This protein is part of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are responsible for detecting odors in the nose. When odorant molecules bind to OR2G6, it triggers a neuronal response that leads to the perception of a smell. OR2G6, like other olfactory receptors, has a 7-transmembrane domain structure, which is a common feature of many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors.
OR2G6, also known as Olfactory receptor 2G6, is an odorant receptor.
OR2G6 is also known as -.
