FormulationLiquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Concentration1 mg/ml
Storage Stability-20°C/1 year
Other NameOR52N4; Olfactory receptor 52N4; Olfactory receptor OR11-64
Functionfunction:Odorant receptor .,polymorphism:A stop codon at position Arg-172 in the gene coding for this protein is responsible for functional diversity thus producing a pseudogene. The stop codon is more frequent in non-Africans than in African-Americans.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,
Subcellular LocationCell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Backgroundolfactory receptor family 52 subfamily N member 4 (gene/pseudogene)(OR52N4) Homo sapiens 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.
