V1RL1 Background Information Pheromone receptors are an essential part of the olfactory sensory system that play a role in the recognition of and response to chemical communication. V1RL1, also known as VN1R1 (Vomeronasal type-1 receptor 1), VNR19I1, ZVNH1 or ZVNR1, is a 353 amino acid member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. Localized to the cell membrane and expressed in olfactory mucosa, V1RL1 is a pheromone receptor that functions to mediate hormone response. V1RL1 contains seven transmembrane domains and shares strong homology with its mouse and rat counterparts. In chimpanzee and orangutan, V1RL1 is encoded by a non-functional pseudogene, suggesting that V1RL1 expression may be species-specific.
