OR51I1
Description
The OR51I1 (olfactory receptor family 51 subfamily I member 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
The OR51I1 gene encodes a protein called olfactory receptor 51I1, which is involved in our sense of smell. This protein is a type of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that interacts with odorant molecules in the nose. It's a member of a large family of GPCRs involved in recognizing and transmitting odorant signals. OR51I1, like other olfactory receptors, has a seven-transmembrane domain structure, similar to many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the human genome. The naming system for olfactory receptors is independent of other organisms.
