Olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily H member 1 pseudogene (OR7H1P)

The olfactory receptor family 7 subfamily H member 1 pseudogene (OR7H1P) is classified as a pseudogene in the human genome, associated with the olfactory receptor gene family. Olfactory receptors, in general, interact with odorant molecules to trigger the perception of smell, but as a pseudogene, OR7H1P is considered non-functional and does not encode an active receptor protein in most individuals. Pseudogenes are genetic sequences similar to functional genes but typically carry disabling mutations that prevent their normal function. There is no evidence that OR7H1P is a therapeutic target, nor is it implicated in disease, drug interaction, or patient selection as a biomarker.
