COMMENT REVIEWED REFSEQ: This record has been curated by NCBI staff. The
reference sequence was derived from AL359636.17.
On Apr 5, 2004 this sequence version replaced XM_071152.1.
Summary: 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

## 1 microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop.
## 2 microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding.
