Background

Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of smell. These receptors are part of the large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) arising from single coding-exon genes. They share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to these genes and proteins is organism-specific. This olfactory receptor gene is a segregating pseudogene, where some individuals have an allele encoding a functional receptor, while others have a nonfunctional allele.
