OR51A2 is an olfactory receptor family member that functions as an odorant receptor localized to the plasma membrane. Based on limited published evidence, OR51A2 expression was significantly up-regulated (>2-fold) in peripheral blood following weight restoration in anorexia nervosa patients 1, though the functional significance of this finding in non-olfactory tissues remains unclear.
