OR51F1


Description

The OR51F1 (olfactory receptor family 51 subfamily F member 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.

The OR51F1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called an olfactory receptor. Olfactory receptors are found in the nose, where they detect odors. This particular receptor is thought to be involved in the sense of smell.

This protein acts as an odorant receptor.

OR51F1 is also known as OR11-21, OR51F1P.
