OR51F2
Description
The OR51F2 (olfactory receptor family 51 subfamily F member 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
Olfactory receptor 51F2 is a protein encoded by the OR51F2 gene in humans. It plays a role in smell perception by interacting with odorant molecules in the nose, initiating a neuronal response. This protein is a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, which are characterized by their 7-transmembrane domain structure. These receptors are responsible for recognizing and transducing odorant signals through G proteins. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the human genome and has a unique naming system independent of other organisms.
Odorant receptor.
OR51F2 is also known as OR11-23.
