OR2M1P
Description
The OR2M1P (olfactory receptor family 2 subfamily M member 1 pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 1.
OR2M1P is a pseudogene located on human chromosome 11. Pseudogenes are non-functional copies of functional genes that have become inactive due to mutations. OR2M1P is a member of the olfactory receptor gene family, which encodes proteins that are responsible for detecting odors. However, OR2M1P is not expressed as a protein and does not have any known function.
OR2M1P, also known as olfactory receptor 2M1P, is a member of the olfactory receptor (OR) family. ORs are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that detect odorants and initiate a signal transduction cascade that ultimately leads to the perception of smell. OR2M1P is a pseudogene, meaning it has become non-functional due to mutations. Pseudogenes often lack an open reading frame and are not expressed as proteins. While OR2M1P does not function as an olfactory receptor, it may play a role in regulating the expression of other genes involved in olfaction.
OR2M1P is also known as JCG10, OR2M1, OST037.
