Olfactory receptor, family 6, subfamily N, member 1 (OR6N1) is a receptor that interacts 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. OR6N1 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 nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms. References: The UniProt Consortium.
