OR7E37P
Description
The OR7E37P (olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily E member 37 pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 13.
OR7E37P is a human gene that encodes a protein belonging to the olfactory receptor family. These receptors are involved in detecting odorant molecules, ultimately contributing to the sense of smell. The specific odorants that activate OR7E37P are not yet known.
OR7E37P, also known as olfactory receptor 7E37P, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OR7E37P gene. This gene belongs to a large family of genes that encode G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) responsible for detecting odorant molecules. The protein, like other olfactory receptors, is thought to be involved in the perception of smell. It is expressed in the olfactory epithelium, the tissue that lines the nasal cavity and contains olfactory sensory neurons. However, the specific odorants that activate OR7E37P are currently unknown, highlighting the need for further research to understand its specific role in olfaction.
OR7E37P is also known as OR7E48P, OST193, hg533.
