OR5E1P
Description
The OR5E1P (olfactory receptor family 5 subfamily E member 1 pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 11.
OR5E1P is a pseudogene located on chromosome 11. It is a non-functional copy of a gene that encodes an olfactory receptor protein. Pseudogenes are inactive copies of functional genes and typically do not produce proteins.
OR5E1P, also known as olfactory receptor 5E1P, is a member of the large family of olfactory receptors, which are responsible for detecting and transmitting odor information to the brain. This gene is located in a cluster of olfactory receptor genes on chromosome 11. However, the specific function and odorant binding properties of OR5E1P remain largely unknown, as it is a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional copy of a functional gene. Pseudogenes typically do not produce proteins, and their role in the genome is not fully understood.
OR5E1P is also known as HSTPCR24, OR5E1, TPCR24.
