Olfactory receptor family 10 subfamily AE member 3 pseudogene (OR10AE3P)

Olfactory receptor family 10 subfamily AE member 3 pseudogene (OR10AE3P) is a human gene classified as a pseudogene, meaning it is a genomic DNA sequence derived from a functional olfactory receptor gene but with mutations (such as frame-shifts or stop codons) that prevent it from expressing a functional protein. Olfactory receptor pseudogenes are common in the human genome because selective pressures to maintain their function can be low, leading to functional redundancy or loss of odorant detection relevance. Although some pseudogenes play regulatory roles via RNA, this is not specifically established for OR10AE3P. There is no evidence for any remaining protein product, biological activity, disease connection, or druggability associated with this gene.
