Olfactory receptor family 8 subfamily B member 6 pseudogene (OR8B6P)

Target
OR8B6P
Molecular classification
Pseudogene, Olfactory receptor family (structurally a G protein-coupled receptor, but pseudogenized)
01

Overview

Olfactory receptor family 8 subfamily B member 6 pseudogene (OR8B6P) is a non-functional gene in humans, related to the large family of olfactory receptors, which typically initiate neuronal responses involved in smell perception. Unlike functional olfactory receptor genes, OR8B6P is annotated as a pseudogene, indicating it contains genetic changes (such as frame-shift or nonsense mutations) that prevent it from producing a functional receptor protein. There is no evidence for a biological role, disease association, or clinical relevance for this gene in humans.

Other names
OR8B6Polfactory receptor, family 8, subfamily B, member 6 pseudogene
02

Mechanism of action

None (no functional protein produced)

03
