Olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily E member 93 pseudogene (OR7E93P)

The Olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily E member 93 pseudogene (OR7E93P) is a human gene located on chromosome 3 that is classified as a pseudogene—meaning it is a non-functional remnant of a protein-coding olfactory receptor gene[5][7][1]. Unlike functional olfactory receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors that detect odorants and initiate neuronal responses, pseudogenes like OR7E93P usually arise through mutations (such as frame-shifts or premature stop codons) that prevent the formation of a full-length, active protein[3][4]. Due to its classification as a pseudogene, OR7E93P does not produce a functional receptor, is not involved in biological processes like signal transduction, has no established roles in disease, and is not considered a druggable target or a biomarker[5][3][6][7]. Other aliases include OR7E131P, HsOR3.5.3P, and ORL3103[1][2][3].
