Olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily A member 8 pseudogene (OR7A8P)

Target: OR7A8P
Molecular classification: Pseudogene, G protein-coupled receptor (related family; functional members, not this specific pseudogene)

Overview

Olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily A member 8 pseudogene (OR7A8P) is a human gene classified as a pseudogene—meaning it does not encode a functional protein product. While its functional relatives (olfactory receptors) belong to the large G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily and are involved in the molecular detection of odorants in the olfactory epithelium, this specific entry (OR7A8P) lacks protein-coding potential and is not a therapeutic or biological target[1][2][3][7][8]. No drugs, disease associations, or biomarker utility are reported for this pseudogene. Key points: - The gene is a well-characterized pseudogene (non-functional) and not a drug target or therapeutic target[1][7][8]. - It is sometimes mislisted alongside functional olfactory receptors, but OR7A8P itself does not encode an active protein and has no direct biological or clinical function. - The aliases provided are reliable; various databases and nomenclature authorities recognize this entry as a human pseudogene affiliated with the olfactory receptor family[1][2][3][7][8].

Other names: OST042HG83OR19-11OR7A9PHsOR19.3.4PORL3793hg83

Biological functions

Other (no functional protein product; presumed loss of function due to pseudogene status)

Disease associations

Other (no direct disease associations; not implicated in human disease as a functional entity)
