Olfactory receptor family 6 subfamily C member 70 (OR6C70)

Olfactory receptor family 6 subfamily C member 70 (OR6C70) is a protein-coding gene that encodes an olfactory receptor, a member of the largest family of G protein-coupled receptors found in the human genome[2][7][8]. These receptors have a seven-transmembrane domain structure, crucial for binding odorant molecules in the nose and initiating the neuronal responses that trigger the perception of smell[2][4][8]. OR6C70, like other olfactory receptors, belongs to the class A GPCR family and is involved in G protein-mediated signal transduction[1][2]. While olfactory receptors are traditionally associated with smell, recent studies suggest their expression in non-olfactory tissues may have physiological or pathophysiological significance[1]. No drugs are currently known to target this receptor, and neither its role in human disease nor its potential as a biomarker or drug target has been definitively established[2][5][8].
