Description:
OR51V1 encodes the olfactory receptor family 51 subfamily V member 1. Olfactory receptors (ORs) belong to the large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) and are located on the sensory neurons of nasal epithelium. ORs bind to odorant molecules and transduce signals via a G protein, in turn activating downstream effector molecules that trigger the perception of smell. The OR gene family is the largest in the genome and exists as clusters of genes in specific genomic locations. The β-globin (HBB) gene locus is surrounded by a large cluster of OR genes. HBB is a globin protein produced by the HBB gene located in the multigene locus of β-globin locus on chromosome 11, specifically on the short arm position 15.5. The combination of two β-globin chains and two α-globin chains forms adult haemoglobin (HbA; α2β2). The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is: 5'-ε(HBE)-Gγ(HBG2)-Aγ(HBG1)-ψβ(HBBP1)-δ(HBD)-β(HBB)-3'. Polymorphisms in this intergenic region (OR51V1-HBB) associated with HbF levels in sickle cell patients.
