OR6C65
Description
The OR6C65 (olfactory receptor family 6 subfamily C member 65) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
OR6C65 is a human gene that encodes an olfactory receptor protein. Olfactory receptors are responsible for the sense of smell. They are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are expressed in the olfactory epithelium, a specialized tissue in the nose. When an odor molecule binds to an olfactory receptor, it triggers a signaling cascade that ultimately results in the perception of smell.
This protein is an odorant receptor, which is a type of receptor that detects odor molecules in the environment.
OR6C65 is also known as -.
