Olfactory receptor family 8 subfamily C member 1 pseudogene (OR8C1P)

“Olfactory receptor family 8 subfamily C member 1 pseudogene” (OR8C1P) is a human pseudogene that belongs to the olfactory receptor family 8, subfamily C. Although its sequence indicates relatedness to the olfactory receptor (G protein-coupled receptor) genes, OR8C1P is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it does not encode a functional protein and is not believed to be involved in olfactory signaling or any other biological function. It is not a therapeutic target, does not participate in known disease roles, and has no known interactions with drugs or established mechanisms of action[1][2][3][5][7][9][11][13]. Key points: - **Pseudogene** means the locus does not produce a functional protein[9][11]. - **Not a target**: It is not an actionable receptor, enzyme, or other druggable entity. - **Aliases**: Several synonyms are reported, including OR11-175, OR912-45, OR912-106, OR8C3P, OR8C4P[1][2][7][11]. This entry is often mistakenly included in olfactory receptor lists but should not be considered a functional or druggable receptor.
