OR8G1
Description
The OR8G1 (olfactory receptor family 8 subfamily G member 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
OR8G1 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the sense of smell. It's part of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with odorant molecules in the nose. These receptors have a specific 7-transmembrane domain structure, which helps them recognize and transduce odorant signals to the brain. The OR8G1 gene belongs to the olfactory receptor gene family, which is the largest in the human genome.
Odorant receptor.
OR8G1 is also known as HSTPCR25, OR8G1P, TPCR25.
