OR6S1
Description
The OR6S1 (olfactory receptor family 6 subfamily S member 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 14.
Olfactory receptor 6S1 is a protein encoded by the OR6S1 gene in humans. It's a member of the large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) involved in smell perception. These receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose to trigger a neuronal response, leading to the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the human genome, with each gene encoding a unique receptor. The nomenclature used for these genes and proteins is independent of other organisms.
This receptor interacts with odor molecules in the nose, initiating a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell.
OR6S1 is also known as OR14-37, OR6S1Q.
