Olfactory receptor family 1 subfamily X member 1 pseudogene (OR1X1P)

Olfactory receptor family 1 subfamily X member 1 pseudogene (OR1X1P) is a **human pseudogene** annotated as a member of the olfactory receptor (OR) gene superfamily[2][3][1]. Olfactory receptor pseudogenes like OR1X1P have lost their protein-coding potential due to inactivating mutations (such as frameshifts or premature stop codons), and therefore they do not function as true olfactory receptors[1]. In general, olfactory receptor genes code for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) responsible for the detection and transduction of odorant signals. However, in the case of pseudogenes such as OR1X1P, functional protein production is believed to be lost and no evidence supports their use as therapeutic targets, nor are they implicated in disease or drug interactions[1][2][3]. Olfactory receptor pseudogenes comprise a large portion of the human genome, believed to reflect evolutionary changes and reduced reliance on the sense of smell in primates[1]. **Note:** - OR1X1P is not a protein-coding gene, nor a therapeutic target, and is not associated with any known diseases or drugs[1][2][3]. - Occasionally, some pseudogenes may be transcribed or affect regulation, but for OR1X1P, no such function has been described. - All fields related to drug interaction, mechanism of action, biomarker, and safety concern are not applicable.
