Vomeronasal 1 receptor 8 pseudogene (VN1R8P)
- Target
- VN1R8P
- Molecular classification
- Pseudogene, G protein-coupled receptor family (ancestral membership; does not produce a functional GPCR)
01
Overview
Vomeronasal 1 receptor 8 pseudogene (VN1R8P) is a human processed pseudogene belonging to the vomeronasal 1 receptor family, located on chromosome 21q11.2. The vomeronasal receptor genes typically encode G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) thought to bind pheromones in mammals; however, VN1R8P does not encode a functional protein and lacks biological or clinical relevance in humans. These pseudogenes represent remnants of the vomeronasal sensory repertoire. VN1R8P is sometimes referred to by the alias ORLP2. Its absence of function means it is neither a therapeutic target nor a biomarker, and no drugs or mechanisms of action are associated with it.
- Other names
- ORLP2
02
Mechanism of action
None (as above, no drug action possible due to lack of protein product)
03
Biological functions
None known (does not encode a protein; no biological function)
04
Disease associations
None known (no evidence for a direct role in disease, susceptibility, or pathology)
05
Safety considerations
None (no function or role in therapy, so no safety concerns or challenges)
06
Interacting drugs
None (no known drugs interact with or target this pseudogene)
07
Biomarkers
None (not used as a biomarker in any validated context)
