Table 1.

Seven segregating pseudogenes with agonists. The frequency of the disrupted allele in the 1000 Genomes Project22 is listed. In cases where the variant allele alters a highly-conserved domain in the protein, the conserved amino acid that varies is underscored.

Odorant receptor name Frequency of pseudogene allele Result Agonist
OR2B11 43% 8 amino acid protein Cinnamaldehyde
OR4E2 30% MAYDRY domain Amyl acetate
OR8K3 24% MAYDRY domain (+)-Menthol
OR10A6 22% PMLNPLIY domain 3-phenyl propyl propionate
OR2C1 4% 272 amino acid protein Octanethiol
OR4Q3 1.50% 159 amino acid protein Eugenol
OR10G7 1.40% 191 amino acid protein Eugenol
