Predicted to enable pheromone binding activity and pheromone receptor activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within response to pheromone. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human VN1R4 (vomeronasal 1 receptor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
Pheromones are chemical signals that elicit specific behavioral responses and physiologic alterations in recipients of the same species. The protein encoded by this gene is similar to pheromone receptors and is primarily localized to the olfactory mucosa. An alternate splice variant of this gene is
