Description
Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Predicted to enable odorant binding activity and olfactory receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within axon guidance. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in main olfactory bulb glomerular layer; main olfactory bulb olfactory nerve layer; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human OR8A1 (olfactory receptor family 8 subfamily A member 1).
