olfactory receptor 11H7 (olfactory receptor OR14-32, OR11H7P, OR11H7)

Function

odorant receptor, activated by isovaleric acid

Structure

belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family

Compartment

cell membrane

Polymorphism

• a stop codon in the gene coding for OR11H7P at position Gln-227 is responsible for functional diversity producing thus a pseudogene
• hypersensitivity towards isovaleric acid is seen predominantly in individuals who carry at least one copy of the intact allele

More general terms

• glycoprotein
• olfactory receptor, family 11
