Olfactory receptor 56A4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OR56A4 gene.[4]

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. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.[4]

gollark: Ah yes, very expensive time zone hacks.

gollark: I suppose they work as a more obvious reminder, though? Some people have (generally software-based) clock things which constantly count down life expectancy or something, which seems like a great way to generate existential crises.

gollark: You're always slightly aging, and can worry about *that* instead of specifically birthdays, until someone comes up with really good life-extension or immortality.

gollark: I had mine last month. It's not like you age suddenly one year at a time, though.

gollark: Good job! Hopefully universities will actually be running somewhat sensibly despite the COVID-19 situation, I guess.
