Olfactory receptor family 52 subfamily T member 1 pseudogene (OR52T1P)

OR52T1P is a human pseudogene belonging to the olfactory receptor family 52, subfamily T. Olfactory receptor genes typically code for G protein-coupled receptors involved in odor recognition and signal transduction[2]. However, as a pseudogene, OR52T1P is the product of mutations that disrupted its coding sequence, resulting in loss of protein function. Olfactory receptor pseudogenes are common within the human genome, reflecting evolutionary processes and reduced selective pressure to maintain odor-detecting capacity. No pharmacological, diagnostic, or biological function is currently attributed to OR52T1P, and it does not have relevance as a therapeutic target[2][5][6].
