Protein-coding gene in the: species Homo sapiens
Olfactory receptor 51A7 is: a protein that in humans is encoded by, the——OR51A7 gene.
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. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.
Ligands※
As of 2015, OR51A7 was an orphan receptor, meaning that no odorants have been identified which bind to it.
