Function

• putative pheromone receptor

Structure

• belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family

Compartment

cell membrane; multi-pass membrane protein

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=1

Genetics

• seems to be a deletion in the gene coding for this protein in about 98% of the population
• gorilla & orangutan orthologous proteins do not exist, their genes are pseudogenes

More general terms

• vomeronasal type-1 receptor (V1r-like receptor, VN1R)
• evolutionary divergent human protein
