Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** OR4C46 is a member of the olfactory receptor family, which is a group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) responsible for detecting odorant molecules in the air we breathe. These receptors are expressed on the surface of olfactory sensory neurons, responsible for transducing chemical signals into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain. OR4C46 is specifically classified as a subfamily C member, which is distinct from other olfactory receptors. This gene is also known to be involved in the expression and translocation of olfactory receptors, indicating its role in regulating the olfactory system. **Pathways and Functions:** OR4C46 is involved in the following pathways: 1. **Detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of smell**: OR4C46 is responsible for detecting odorant molecules in the air, which is essential for our sense of smell. 2. **Expression and translocation of olfactory receptors**: OR4C46 regulates the expression and translocation of olfactory receptors, ensuring that they are properly localized on the surface of olfactory sensory neurons. 3. **G protein-coupled receptor activity**: OR4C46 is a GPCR, which means it activates a signaling cascade when bound to its ligand, resulting in a cellular response. 4. **G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway**: OR4C46 is involved in the G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway, which is a complex signaling cascade that regulates various cellular processes. 5. **Olfactory receptor activity**: OR4C46 is an olfactory receptor, which means it is specifically designed to detect odorant molecules. 6. **Olfactory signaling pathway**: OR4C46 is involved in the olfactory signaling pathway, which transduces chemical signals from the nose into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain. **Clinical Significance:** OR4C46 has several clinical implications: 1. **Olfactory disorders**: OR4C46 may play a role in various olfactory disorders, such as anosmia (loss of smell) and hyposmia (reduced sense of smell). 2. **Neurological disorders**: OR4C46 may be involved in neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, which are characterized by olfactory dysfunction. 3. **Cancer research**: OR4C46 may have potential applications in cancer research, as olfactory receptors have been implicated in the development and progression of certain cancers. 4. **Neuroprotection**: OR4C46 may have neuroprotective effects, as it is involved in the regulation of olfactory sensory neurons, which are susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases. In conclusion, OR4C46 is a critical component of the olfactory system, involved in the detection of chemical stimuli and the regulation of olfactory receptors. Its clinical significance extends to various neurological and cancer-related disorders, making it an area of interest for further research.
