Olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily E member 23 pseudogene (OR7E23P)

Olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily E member 23 pseudogene (OR7E23P) is a **human pseudogene** representing a member of the olfactory receptor gene family that has lost its protein-coding function due to disabling mutations[5][3]. Olfactory receptors are typically G protein-coupled receptors involved in odorant detection, but this particular locus contains sequence changes that prevent the formation of a functional receptor protein[5][3]. As a pseudogene, OR7E23P is not considered a valid therapeutic target and does not have known drug interactions or disease relevance. There is no evidence establishing a regulatory or functional RNA role for this specific pseudogene at present. **Summary:** OR7E23P is a non-functional genetic element classified as a pseudogene; it is not a receptor or valid drug target, and it does not participate in olfactory signaling or other described biological processes in humans[5][3].
