OR1F2P
Description
The OR1F2P (olfactory receptor family 1 subfamily F member 2 pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 16.
This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the large family of olfactory receptors. Olfactory receptors are seven transmembrane proteins that are responsible for the detection of odorants. They are expressed in the olfactory epithelium, a specialized tissue in the nose that contains sensory neurons. When an odorant binds to an olfactory receptor, it triggers a signal transduction cascade that ultimately leads to the perception of smell.
