Olfactory receptor family 11 subfamily H member 5 pseudogene (OR11H5P)

Olfactory receptor family 11 subfamily H member 5 pseudogene (OR11H5P) is a human gene classified as a pseudogene, derived from olfactory receptor genes, and part of the large G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily[1][2][3][7][8]. Olfactory receptor genes typically encode proteins involved in odorant recognition and signal transduction, but a pseudogene like OR11H5P does not generate a functional receptor protein due to sequence disruption, so it does not have a known biological role or therapeutic relevance[3][7]. Key points: - OR11H5P is consistently classified as a pseudogene and does not encode a functional olfactory receptor protein[2][3][4]. - It is not considered a therapeutic target, biomarker, or disease gene. - Common alternative names include OR14-31, HsOR14.1.26P, and ORL3710[1][3]. - There are no drugs or clinical mechanisms of action associated with this gene, nor known disease associations. This entry should be flagged as incorrect if a functional or drug-targetable receptor is required, as it is a non-coding pseudogene without evidence of functional protein expression[3][4].
