OR2T27
Description
The OR2T27 (olfactory receptor family 2 subfamily T member 27) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
The OR2T27 gene encodes a protein called olfactory receptor 2T27, which plays a role in our sense of smell. Olfactory receptors are proteins that bind to odorant molecules in the nose, triggering a signal that we perceive as a smell. These receptors are part of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which share a common structure with other receptors involved in transmitting signals from neurotransmitters and hormones. The OR2T27 gene, like other olfactory receptor genes, has a single coding exon. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the human genome.
