OR51E1

Sensory System · Olfactory Chemosensation

Can an OR51E1 result describe my entire sense of smell?

OR51E1 belongs to the large family of olfactory receptor genes. Smell depends on the combined activity of many receptors and neural processing, so one locus cannot summarize the whole sense.

Common Gene Name: olfactory receptor family 51 subfamily E member 1
NCBI Gene ID: 143503
Chromosome: 11
