Olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily E member 104 pseudogene (OR7E104P)

OR7E104P is a human pseudogene classified within the olfactory receptor family 7, subfamily E, member 104. Olfactory receptors ordinarily recognize odorant molecules and initiate a neuronal response for smell perception, but as a pseudogene, OR7E104P does not encode a functional olfactory receptor protein and is not thought to produce any active protein or participate in olfactory signal transduction. In genomic databases it is annotated as a non-functional gene with no therapeutic or diagnostic relevance, although its sequence places it within the GPCR superfamily origin. In summary, OR7E104P is a non-functional olfactory receptor pseudogene, not a valid therapeutic drug target or clinical biomarker, and it does not have known functional or disease-related roles.
