Trace amine associated receptor 4, pseudogene (TAAR4P)
- Target
- TAAR4P
- Molecular classification
- G protein-coupled receptor (pseudogene), Olfactory receptor (pseudogene)
01
Overview
Trace amine associated receptor 4, pseudogene (TAAR4P), is a human genomic locus corresponding to the TAAR4 gene family member, but is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it does **not** code for a functional protein in humans[2][5]. In other mammals, functional TAAR4 proteins are G protein-coupled receptors largely expressed in the olfactory epithelium, where they detect specific volatile amines and are involved in olfactory signaling and potentially behavioral responses[1][4]. The human TAAR4P lacks the ability to encode an active receptor and has no therapeutic or clinical relevance as a drug target, nor is it implicated in disease mechanisms or biomarker use[2][3][5].

02
Mechanism of action
None applicable (no active protein product)
03
Biological functions
None (human: pseudogene, not an expressed or functional protein)[2][5](Predicted in some resources: chemosensory behavior, sensory perception, behavioral fear response)[2]
04
Disease associations
None confirmed (not a functional protein in humans)[2][5]No direct link to disease as a gene product
05
Safety considerations
None
06
Interacting drugs
None (no known drugs interact with this pseudogene, as it is not functional in humans)[2][3][5]
