Gene

ADCY2

ADCY2 encodes adenylate cyclase 2, an enzyme that helps make the cell signal cAMP. rs116058752 lies inside ADCY2 and was linked to correct orange-odor identification in women in one European-ancestry study. ADCY2 is a plausible locus gene, but the study did not show that ADCY2 or this marker causes the difference.
