OR9G4
Description
The OR9G4 (olfactory receptor family 9 subfamily G member 4) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
The OR9G4 gene in humans encodes for a protein called Olfactory receptor 9G4. This protein is a member of a large family of olfactory receptors, which are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that bind to odor molecules in the nose. This binding initiates a signal that triggers the perception of smell. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the human genome, and each receptor is responsible for recognizing and responding to specific scents.
This protein is a type of odorant receptor, responsible for recognizing and triggering a response to specific smells in the nose.
OR9G4 is also known as OR11-216.
