OR6S1

olfactory receptor family 6 subfamily S member 1

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.

AD Risk Scores

About AD Risk Scores

The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has developed a Target Risk Score (TRS) to objectively rank the potential involvement of specific genes in AD. The TRS is derived by summing two component risk scores, the Genetic Risk Score and the Multi-omic Risk Score, each of which is derived from a meta-analysis of multiple harmonized data sets. More information about the methodology used to define these risk scores is available here.

AD Risk Scores for OR6S1

The TRS for OR6S1, along with the component Genetic and Multi-omic Risk Scores, is shown here. The scores for OR6S1 are superimposed on the genome-wide score distributions. If No Data is Currently Available is displayed for a score, that score was not calculated for OR6S1.

Biological Domain Classification

About Biological Domains

A biological domain represents a standardized area of biology defined by a set of discrete, biologically coherent GO terms. The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has defined nineteen biological domains associated with AD, and objectively mapped genes to those biological domains using GO term annotations. More information about the methodology used to define AD biological domains, and to generate genome-wide biological domain mappings, is available here.

Biological Domains for OR6S1

Select a biological domain on the left to see the list of GO terms that link OR6S1 to it on the right. The percentage value displayed next to the currently selected biological domain indicates the proportion of OR6S1's total unique GO terms that map to the biological domain. The ratio displayed on the right indicates how many of the biological domain's total GO terms OR6S1 is annotated with.
