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]
A study in humans demonstrated that the OR7A5 was one of the four most significantly down-regulated mRNAs in traumatic brain injury tissue compared to adjacent control tissue [Yang et al. DOI:10.4103/1673-5374.247467].
