OR2L13
An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox Olfactory receptor 2L13 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OR2L13 gene.[1]
Function
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. [1] OR2L13 was recently implicated in regulating platelet reactivity and growth of abdominal aortic aneurysms [2]
