Vomeronasal 2 receptor 17, pseudogene (VN2R17P)

VN2R17P (vomeronasal 2 receptor 17, pseudogene) is annotated in the human genome at chromosome 19q13.43 and is part of the vomeronasal receptor family. Vomeronasal receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that mediate pheromone detection in vertebrates, but the VN2R17P locus in humans is classified as a pseudogene and does not encode a functional receptor[1][3][5]. This means it does not produce a protein product and has no known role in human physiology or disease. It is often cataloged alongside other vomeronasal-related pseudogenes reflecting evolutionary remnants rather than current biological activity[1][3][5].

None. No drugs target the gene or act via this mechanism
