OR2J3 - olfactory receptor family 2 subfamily J member 3 Gene
Also Known as 6M1-3; OR6-6; C3HEXS; OR6-16; ORL671; HS6M1-3; OR6.3.6
Species: Homo sapiens (human)
Summary
This gene encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that functions as an Olfactory Receptor. Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The protein encoded by this gene responds to cis-3-hexen-1-ol, which is released by wounded Plants, including cut grass. This gene is situated in a cluster of similar olfactory-receptor coding genes on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
