OR5T3
Description
The OR5T3 (olfactory receptor family 5 subfamily T member 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
OR5T3 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the OR5T3 gene. It is an olfactory receptor, meaning it interacts with odorant molecules in the nose to initiate a neuronal response leading to the perception of smell. OR5T3 is a member of the large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are characterized by a 7-transmembrane domain structure. These receptors are involved in the recognition and transduction of odorant signals through G proteins. The OR5T3 gene is part of the olfactory receptor gene family, which is the largest gene family in the human genome.
OR5T3 is an odorant receptor protein involved in the sense of smell. It binds to specific odorant molecules in the nose, triggering a signal that leads to the perception of a smell.
OR5T3 is also known as OR11-178, OR5T3Q.
