Olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily E member 13 pseudogene (OR7E13P)

Olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily E member 13 pseudogene (OR7E13P) is a human gene annotated as a pseudogene belonging to the family of olfactory receptor genes[1][3][4][8][9]. Olfactory receptor genes typically encode G protein-coupled receptors involved in the detection of odorants, but in this case, OR7E13P is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it contains disruptions (such as premature stop codons or frameshifts) that usually prevent the production of a functional receptor protein[2][8]. It does not have a known biological function or disease association, and there are no known drugs or mechanisms of action targeting it. Pseudogenes like OR7E13P are not considered therapeutic targets, and they commonly lack standardized protein product or physiological function[6][8]. This particular gene is also referred to by several aliases, including OR11-4, and appears in gene databases as a non-functional locus[2][3][4][9].
