{"symbol":"OR2J3","synonyms":["OR6.3.6","C3HEXS","HS6M1-3","6M1-3","ORL671","OR6-6","OR6-16"],"name":"olfactory receptor, family 2, subfamily J, member 3","description":"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.
