OR2G6 Gene

HGNC Family G protein-coupled receptors
Name olfactory receptor, family 2, subfamily G, member 6
Description Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Furthermore, increased levels of the Zscan4 protein and enhanced telomere sister chromatid exchange are observed upon Tcstv1 overexpression, and depletion of Tcstv1/3 reduces Zscan4 protein levels, collectively underscoring a collaborative mechanism in telomere maintenance."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "In summary, while the abstract provides compelling evidence for the involvement of Tcstv1 and Tcstv3 in ensuring genomic stability via telomere maintenance in mouse ESCs, it does not include any information on OR2G6.
