Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Olfactory Receptor Function**: OR2L2 is a G protein-coupled receptor that responds to odorant molecules, triggering a signaling cascade that ultimately leads to the perception of smell. 2. **Broad Tissue Expression**: OR2L2 is expressed in multiple cell types, including goblet cells, mural cells, granulocyte monocyte progenitor cells, intestinal crypt stem cells, and transit amplifying cells, indicating a diverse range of biological activities. 3. **Cellular Localizations**: OR2L2 is found on the plasma membrane, where it can interact with odorant molecules and initiate signaling pathways. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **G Protein-Coupled Receptor Signaling Pathway**: OR2L2 activates G proteins, which in turn trigger a cascade of downstream signaling events that ultimately lead to the perception of smell. 2. **Olfactory Signaling Pathway**: OR2L2 is integral to the olfactory signaling pathway, which involves the detection of odorant molecules, transmission of signals to the brain, and ultimately, the perception of smell. 3. **G Protein-Coupled Receptor Activity**: OR2L2 exhibits G protein-coupled receptor activity, which allows it to regulate various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and survival. 4. **Expression and Translocation of Olfactory Receptors**: OR2L2 is involved in the expression and translocation of olfactory receptors, ensuring that the correct receptors are expressed on the surface of olfactory sensory neurons. **Clinical Significance:** OR2L2 has been implicated in various diseases and disorders, including: 1. **Olfactory Dysfunction**: Mutations in the OR2L2 gene have been linked to olfactory dysfunction, highlighting the importance of this receptor in maintaining normal olfactory function. 2. **Gastrointestinal Disorders**: OR2L2 expression in gastrointestinal cells suggests that this receptor may play a role in the regulation of gut function and the development of gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome. 3. **Cancer**: OR2L2 has been found to be overexpressed in certain types of cancer, including colorectal cancer, suggesting that this receptor may contribute to tumorigenesis and cancer progression. In conclusion, OR2L2 is a multifunctional receptor that plays a critical role in olfactory perception and has implications for various diseases and disorders. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the biological activities of OR2L2 and its role in human health and disease.
