| HGNC Family | G protein-coupled receptors |
| Name | olfactory receptor, family 52, subfamily E, member 1 (gene/pseudogene) |
| 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. This olfactory receptor gene is a segregating pseudogene, where some individuals have an allele that encodes a functional olfactory receptor, while other individuals have an allele encoding a protein that is predicted to be non-functional.

{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nA series of studies investigating the mammalian N‐end rule pathway have revealed that E3 ubiquitin ligases—particularly UBR2, a homolog of UBR1—play indispensable roles in the recognition and degradation of proteins carrying destabilizing N‐terminal residues. UBR2 functions in critical developmental processes including embryogenesis, male meiosis, and pancreatic and neurogenic development, as demonstrated by analyses in various knockout mouse models. These findings underscore that proper regulation of protein turnover via the N‐end rule pathway is essential for tissue homeostasis and normal organismal development."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nAdditional investigations have further delineated the multifaceted roles of UBR2 beyond conventional proteolytic targeting. In mouse spermatocytes, UBR2 is involved in chromatin remodeling through histone H2A ubiquitination, thereby mediating transcriptional silencing over unsynapsed chromosomal regions during meiosis. Moreover, UBR2 forms a stabilizing complex with the germ cell–specific protein Tex19.1, and its absence correlates with impaired chromosomal synapsis, genome instability, and defects in homologous recombination repair. Together, these studies illustrate that UBR2 is a key coordinator of both chromatin dynamics and genomic integrity."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "4", "end_ref": "7"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nFurthermore, in pathogenic contexts, UBR2 has been implicated in processes that contribute to disease progression.

In parallel, studies involving p53‐deficient mesenchymal stem cells indicate that UBR2 can be packaged into exosomes that, upon transfer to target cells, potentiate tumor growth and metastasis via modulation of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway.
