Olfactory receptor family 13 subfamily K member 1 pseudogene (OR13K1P)

Olfactory receptor family 13 subfamily K member 1 pseudogene (OR13K1P) is a **human pseudogene** that, by sequence, belongs to the large olfactory receptor gene family, specifically family 13, subfamily K, member 1[3][4][5][7][8]. The gene is annotated as a **pseudogene**, meaning it does not encode a functional protein. While olfactory receptors as a class are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) responsible for odor detection in the olfactory epithelium, this specific gene lacks evidence of protein-coding or functional activity[7][8]. There are no known biological functions, disease associations, or pharmacological interactions attributed to OR13K1P at this time[7]. This entity is **not considered a therapeutic target**, and there are no drugs, mechanisms, or biomarkers relevant for clinical or research selection. It is accurately annotated as a pseudogene in major catalogues (HGNC, NCBI, Ensembl) and has no established role in signaling, physiology, or disease[4][5][7][8].
