Olfactory receptor family 11 subfamily Q member 1 pseudogene (OR11Q1P)

Olfactory receptor family 11 subfamily Q member 1 pseudogene (OR11Q1P) is a human gene classified as a pseudogene in the olfactory receptor gene family, specifically family 11, subfamily Q[6][4]. Olfactory receptors, when functional, are G protein-coupled receptors responsible for the detection of odorant molecules and initiation of neuronal responses related to the perception of smell[6][7]. However, as a pseudogene, OR11Q1P does not encode a functional protein and is not considered an active receptor or therapeutic target[6]. There are no known interacting drugs, mechanisms of action, or roles in disease or therapy associated with this locus. Key details: - This locus is a pseudogene, which means it is a non-functional genomic sequence resembling an olfactory receptor gene[6]. - It belongs to the large superfamily of olfactory receptor genes, most of which encode functional odorant-sensing proteins, but many, including OR11Q1P, do not produce active receptor proteins[6][4]. - Common alternative names include HsORX.1.1P[4]. - There is no evidence to suggest any disease relevance, biomarker role, drug interaction, or safety concern associated with OR11Q1P[6].
