OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that functions as an olfactory receptor. Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The protein encoded by this gene responds to cis-3-hexen-1-ol, which is released by wounded plants, including cut grass. This gene is situated in a cluster of similar olfactory-receptor coding genes on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against OR2J3 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads OR2J3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against OR2J3 could matter depends on whether native OR2J3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

OR2J3 is annotated at the cell surface, where native OR2J3 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label OR2J3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
