Olfactory receptor family 2 subfamily W member 6 pseudogene (OR2W6P)

Olfactory receptor family 2 subfamily W member 6 pseudogene (OR2W6P) is a non-functional genomic region that resembles an olfactory receptor gene but lacks the capacity to encode a functional protein. Olfactory receptors are typically members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily responsible for mediating the sense of smell; however, OR2W6P is annotated as a pseudogene, meaning it does not produce a functional receptor and has no known physiological role. Pseudogenes like OR2W6P are common in the human genome, representing remnants of genes that have lost their coding potential during evolution. No disease relevance, biological function, or drug interaction is reported for this target.
