'''Olfactory receptor 5B3''' is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the ''OR5B3'' [[gene]].<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: OR5B3 olfactory receptor, family 5, subfamily B, member 3| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=441608}}</ref>
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 receptor|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.<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: OR5B3 olfactory receptor, family 5, subfamily B, member 3| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=441608}}</ref>
