Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables copper ion binding activity; odorant binding activity; and olfactory receptor activity. Involved in detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in fronto-nasal process and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human OR5AR1 (olfactory receptor family 5 subfamily AR member 1). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a null allele display reduced freezing behavior in response to 2,4,5-trimethyl thiazolin. [provided by MGI curators] |
