OR3A4: Proteins and Enzymes

Olfactory receptor, family 3, subfamily A, member 4 pseudogene (OR3A4) plays an integral part to the membrane. Belonging to the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family, the olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. This olfactory receptor proteins main function is to act as an Odorant receptor. More specifically, the interaction with odorant molecules in the nose initiates a neuronal response that triggers the perception of smell. Pathways and interactions for the OR3A4 gene include GPCR downstream signaling, olfactory signaling pathway, signal transduction and signaling by GPCR.
