OR1F12 is an olfactory receptor which interacts with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. 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.Store at 4°C short term (1-2 weeks).
