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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

El receptor olfativo 13C8 es una proteína que en humanos está codificada por el gen OR13C8 . Los receptores olfativos interactúan con las moléculas aromáticas de la nariz para iniciar una respuesta neuronal que desencadena la percepción de un olor. Las proteínas receptoras olfativas son miembros de una gran familia de receptores acoplados a proteína G (GPCR) que surgen de genes de exón codificador único. Los receptores olfatorios comparten una estructura de dominio de 7-transmembrana con muchos receptores de neurotransmisores y hormonas y son responsables del reconocimiento y la transducción mediada por proteína G de señales odoríferas. La familia de genes del receptor olfatorio es la más grande del genoma. La nomenclatura asignada a los genes y proteínas del receptor olfativo de este organismo es independiente de otros organismos.
