Olfactory receptor family 5 subfamily AK member 1 pseudogene (OR5AK1P)

Olfactory receptor family 5 subfamily AK member 1 pseudogene (OR5AK1P) is a pseudogene in the human genome, originally annotated based on sequence similarity to functional olfactory receptor genes[6]. Olfactory receptor pseudogenes, such as OR5AK1P, typically arise from gene duplication followed by accumulation of disabling mutations that render them incapable of encoding a functional olfactory receptor protein[4]. While some pseudogenes may be transcribed and in rare cases have regulatory or other biological roles, there is no evidence that OR5AK1P encodes a functional protein or participates in olfactory signal transduction. It is not considered a therapeutic target, and has no established roles in disease, drug interaction, or as a biomarker[6][2][4]. Note: The gene name and abbreviation provided are standardized as per common conventions. OR5AK1P is not a functional olfactory receptor and is classified as a pseudogene based on current human genome annotation[6][4]. Some pseudogenes in general can influence gene regulation, but there is no specific evidence of this for OR5AK1P[2].
