OR5M10
Description
The OR5M10 (olfactory receptor family 5 subfamily M member 10) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
The OR5M10 gene encodes for a protein called olfactory receptor 5M10, which is involved in the sense of smell. Olfactory receptors are proteins that bind to odorant molecules in the nose, triggering a neuronal response that allows us to perceive smells. OR5M10, like other olfactory receptors, belongs to a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and is responsible for recognizing and transmitting odorant signals via G proteins. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the human genome.
Odorant receptor.
OR5M10 is also known as OR11-207.
