Article Synopsis
- Human olfactory receptor hOR17-210 has been identified as a pseudogene, but experimental evidence shows it can still bind odorants and has a specific sensitivity to cyclic ketones.
- Through bioinformatics and protein modeling, researchers discovered that this receptor retains functionality despite lacking typical transmembrane domains found in other G protein-coupled receptors.
- The study suggests that unique structural features and gene rearrangements contribute to the functional diversity and evolutionary adaptations of olfactory receptors and GPCRs.
