OR2B6

OR2B6 belongs to the olfactory receptor (OR) gene family, which is responsible for detecting and recognizing odor molecules in the environment. These receptors are located on the surface of olfactory sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal cavity. One of the primary functions of OR2B6, like other olfactory receptors, is its role in odor detection and olfactory signal transduction. OR2B6 specifically binds to certain odor molecules present in the surrounding air, triggering a signaling cascade within the olfactory sensory neuron. This cascade ultimately leads to the generation of electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain, where they are...
