Olfactory receptor family 10 subfamily P member 1 (OR10P1)

Olfactory receptor family 10 subfamily P member 1 (OR10P1) is a member of the olfactory receptor family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) located on chromosome 12 in humans[1][6]. It recognizes odorant molecules in the nose, initiating neuronal responses that trigger the perception of smell[1][2][3][6][7]. These receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors[1][3][7]. OR10P1, like other olfactory receptors, arises from single coding-exon genes and is involved in G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals[2][3][6][7]. However, this gene is classified primarily as a sensory receptor, and there is no evidence or precedent for its use as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or disease-associated protein. Several synonymous pseudogenes and alternative names are associated with this entry, reflecting historical gene naming and pseudogene annotations[1][2]. OR10P1 is generally not considered a therapeutic drug target, nor are there known drugs, disease roles, or validated biomarker uses associated with it[1][2][3][5][6]. It is sometimes referred to as a pseudogene or by alternative names, but the functional receptor (when encoded and expressed) is an odorant GPCR. The entry is potentially confusing/incorrect as it merges functional receptor names with pseudogene labels (e.g., "OR10P1P"), so is_incorrect is set to true[2].
