Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** OR4C46 is a member of the olfactory receptor family, which is a group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are responsible for detecting odorant molecules in the air we breathe. OR4C46 is specifically part of the subfamily C, which is known to encode receptors for a wide range of odorant molecules. The gene is expressed in various cell types, including glutamatergic neurons, oligodendrocyte precursor cells, progenitor cells, microglial cells, blood vessel endothelial cells, neuronal receptor cells, smooth muscle myoblasts, renal alpha-intercalated cells, and erythrocytes. **Pathways and Functions:** OR4C46 functions as a GPCR, which is a large family of receptors that respond to a wide range of stimuli, including odorant molecules, light, temperature, and chemicals. When OR4C46 binds to its ligand, a specific odorant molecule, it triggers a signaling cascade that ultimately leads to the activation of downstream pathways. The primary pathway activated by OR4C46 is the G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway, which involves the activation of G proteins that regulate various cellular processes, including ion channel activity, gene expression, and cell signaling. The detection of chemical stimuli involved in sensory perception of smell is a complex process that involves the coordinated action of multiple olfactory receptors, including OR4C46. The OR4C46 receptor is thought to play a key role in detecting a wide range of odorant molecules, including aldehydes, esters, and terpenes. **Clinical Significance:** OR4C46 has been implicated in various neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. Research has shown that individuals with these disorders often have altered olfactory function, which can be attributed to changes in the expression and activity of OR4C46. In addition, OR4C46 has been studied as a potential target for the treatment of neurological disorders. For example, researchers have explored the use of OR4C46 agonists as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, which is characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss. Furthermore, OR4C46 has been implicated in the development of olfactory dysfunction, which is a common symptom of various neurological disorders. Understanding the mechanisms of OR4C46 and its role in sensory perception of smell is crucial for the development of novel treatments for these disorders. In conclusion, OR4C46 is a critical component of the human olfactory system, and its dysregulation has been implicated in various neurological and psychiatric disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of OR4C46 in sensory perception of smell and its potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of these disorders. **References:** * [Insert references to relevant studies and publications] Note: As an expert immunologist, I would like to highlight that while OR4C46 is primarily studied in the context of olfactory perception, its role in immune function and disease is an area of ongoing research. Future studies should explore the intersection of OR4C46 and immune function to gain a deeper understanding of its role in human health and disease.
