Vomeronasal 1 receptor 83 pseudogene (VN1R83P)

**Vomeronasal 1 receptor 83 pseudogene (VN1R83P)** is a human gene classified as a **pseudogene**, meaning it is a non-functional genetic element that originated from the vomeronasal 1 receptor family but does not encode an active receptor protein[1][3][5]. Vomeronasal receptors, in general, are involved in pheromone detection and chemical communication in some mammals, but the VN1R83P locus has been rendered non-functional in humans due to genetic mutations that disrupt protein coding[1][3][7]. As such, it is not considered a therapeutic target, is not associated with any disease or drug interactions, has no known biological function, and is not used for biomarker or therapeutic purposes[1][3][5][7]. **Key points:** - VN1R83P is not a protein-coding gene in humans; it is a non-functional pseudogene[1][3][5]. - It belongs to the larger vomeronasal 1 receptor family, which consists of G protein-coupled receptors, although in this case, the gene is not active[1][7]. - There is no evidence that VN1R83P is involved in any biological pathways, diseases, or drug interactions[1][3][5].
