Vomeronasal 1 receptor 17 pseudogene (VN1R17P)

The vomeronasal 1 receptor 17 pseudogene (VN1R17P) is a genomic locus in humans annotated as a pseudogene from the vomeronasal receptor family, historically associated with pheromone detection in other mammals. Although it shows sequence similarity to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), specifically those related to the vomeronasal organ and pheromone sensing, it is classified as a pseudogene and does not encode a functional protein product in humans. Predicted activities—such as pheromone receptor function or participation in GPCR pathways—are inferred from sequence analysis, but not confirmed or active in the human genome. No drugs, disease associations, or biomarkers pertain to this gene, and there is no evidence that it is therapeutically relevant in humans[3][4].
