Olfactory receptor, family 7, subfamily E, member 136 pseudogene (OR7E136P)

Olfactory receptor, family 7, subfamily E, member 136 pseudogene (OR7E136P) is a genomic DNA sequence classified as a pseudogene in humans, with closely related synonyms including OR7E139P and OR7E147P. Olfactory receptors, in general, are part of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily responsible for odor detection in the olfactory system. However, this specific pseudogene is considered non-functional: it contains mutations or structural changes that prevent it from encoding an active olfactory receptor protein. Pseudogenes such as OR7E136P typically arise through gene duplication or mutation events that render the resultant sequence incapable of standard protein-coding function or expression. There are no established implications for human disease, drug interactions, or biomarker use connected to OR7E136P. Because it is classified as a pseudogene, OR7E136P is generally not regarded as a therapeutic or disease-relevant target and is not expected to participate in canonical olfactory signal transduction or other biological pathways.
