OR11L1

OR11L1 is a gene that encodes a protein in humans. It is also known as Olfactory Receptor Family 11 Subfamily L Member 1. This gene is part of the olfactory receptor family, which is the largest gene family in the genome. The olfactory receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that play a role in the detection of odor molecules.

Function

The OR11L1 gene is a member of the olfactory receptor family and encodes a protein that is involved in the detection of odor molecules. This protein is a G protein-coupled receptor and is expressed in the olfactory epithelium.

Structure

The OR11L1 gene is located on chromosome 1 and consists of 2 exons. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family and has seven transmembrane domains.

Clinical Significance

While the exact role of OR11L1 in disease is not fully understood, it is thought that variations in this gene may be associated with differences in smell perception. Further research is needed to fully understand the clinical significance of this gene.
