Function

• odorant receptor

Structure

• belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family

Compartment

• cell membrane ; multi-pass membrane protein

Polymorphism

• segregating pseudogene, locus showing both intact & pseudogene forms in the population
• a deletion of 16 nucleotides at position Ser-186 in the gene coding for OR12D1 is responsible for functional diversity, producing a pseudogene
