Olfactory receptor family 5 subfamily BQ member 1 pseudogene (OR5BQ1P)

Olfactory receptor family 5 subfamily BQ member 1 pseudogene (OR5BQ1P) is classified as a pseudogene within the large human olfactory receptor family, which consists of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) involved in odorant detection and signal transduction in the sense of smell[1][2][3]. However, OR5BQ1P itself is annotated as a pseudogene, meaning it bears sequence similarity to functional olfactory receptor genes but is not believed to encode a functional protein[1][2][3]. As such, it does not have known biological functions, roles in disease, interacting drugs, or mechanisms of action. Pseudogenes like OR5BQ1P generally arise via mutation (e.g., premature stop codons) and are typically considered non-functional[5]; in humans, most olfactory receptor pseudogenes do not code for proteins, and no disease relevance is established for OR5BQ1P.
