Vomeronasal 1 receptor 93 pseudogene (VN1R93P)

Vomeronasal 1 receptor 93 pseudogene (VN1R93P) is a human gene classified as a pseudogene within the family of vomeronasal (V1R) receptor genes[5][7][9]. V1Rs are G protein-coupled receptors that function as pheromone receptors in other mammals, but in humans, most V1R genes—including VN1R93P—are nonfunctional pseudogenes[9]. Pseudogenes like VN1R93P lack the ability to produce a functional protein product due to accumulated mutations, and their presence reflects evolutionary loss of vomeronasal (pheromone-detecting) function in primates and humans[9]. There is no evidence for expression or physiological activity of VN1R93P in humans, and it does not serve as a molecular, therapeutic, or biomarker target[5][9]. **Note:** If you need to map this entity for a database of drug targets or functional proteins, recommend flagging as "not a target" or "pseudogene—non-functional" and omitting from active therapeutic target lists.
