Also known as OR17-4
Summary
OR1D2 (olfactory receptor family 1 subfamily D member 2, HGNC:8183) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17p13.3, encoding Olfactory receptor 1D2 (P34982). Odorant receptor which may be involved in sperm chemotaxis. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 35.9% of cell lines).
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.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 3)
- results indicate that hOR17-4 functions in human sperm chemotaxis and may be a critical component of the fertilization process (PMID:12663925)
- the homo-oligomerization status of the human OR1740 receptor and its involvement in receptor activation upon odorant ligand binding were addressed (PMID:21454689)
- The present preliminary study seems to confirm the important role of OR1D2 both in nose and spermatozoa and may explain the idiopathic infertility of the study group. (PMID:23525651)
