Olfactory receptor family 8 subfamily S member 21 pseudogene (OR8S21P)

Target: OR8S21P
Molecular classification: Pseudogene, Olfactory receptor (putative/ancestral), G protein-coupled receptor (remnants)

Overview

Olfactory receptor family 8 subfamily S member 21 pseudogene (OR8S21P) is a human gene classified as a pseudogene, meaning it does not encode a functional protein. While olfactory receptor genes encode members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family involved in the detection of odorants in the nasal epithelium, this particular locus has lost its protein-coding capability due to disruptive mutations. As such, it does not have a biological or therapeutic function, and it is not considered a drug target nor implicated in disease processes.
