Predicted to enable olfactory receptor binding activity. Involved in detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste and protein targeting to membrane. Located in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Forensic Context

A study in mice demonstrated that the RTP4 was identified as a specifically expressed core differentially expressed gene in the 12-hour post-wound group, where it was down-regulated, and its expression pattern was associated with wound age estimation [Zhu et al. DOI:10.1016/j.legalmed.2021.101982].
