Olfactory receptor family 56 subfamily B member 3 pseudogene (OR56B3P)

Olfactory receptor family 56 subfamily B member 3 pseudogene (OR56B3P) is a member of the large human olfactory receptor gene family; however, it is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it does not encode a functional protein and lacks biological activity as a receptor[2][3][4][6][8][9]. While other olfactory receptor genes are responsible for the detection of odorant molecules and the initiation of neuronal signals for smell perception, pseudogenes such as OR56B3P do not play an active role in these processes[2][7][8]. No disease associations, biological functions, drug targets, or therapeutic relevance are reported or expected for OR56B3P[2][6][8].
