Analysis of OR52R1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-2358-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: olfactory receptor family 52 subfamily R member 1<br />Also known as: OR11-22<br />Olfactory receptors interact with odor molecules in the nose, initiating neuronal responses that trigger the perception of odors. Olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) generated by single-coding exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for odorant signal recognition and G protein-mediated transduction. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature of the olfactory receptor genes and proteins of this organism is independent of that of other organisms. The olfactory receptor gene is a segregating pseudogene in which some individuals have an allele encoding a functional olfactory receptor and others have an allele encoding a protein predicted to be nonfunctional.
