Melatonin receptors belong to the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, which preferentially couple to Gαi/o proteins. The melatonin receptor subfamily is composed of three members in mammals: MT1 and MT2, which are both binding to the neurohormone melatonin with high affinity, and GPR50, which shows high sequence homology to MT1 and MT2 but does not bind to melatonin or any other known ligand.

MT1 and MT2 are involved in various biological functions including the regulation of biological rhythms, sleep, pain, retinal, neuronal and immune functions. Alteration of melatonin receptor function or expression in humans is associated with depression, Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes.

  • HY-B0075S2
    Melatonin-d7
    		Activator ≥98.0%
    Melatonin-d7 is the deuterium labeled Melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland that can activates melatonin receptor. Melatonin plays a role in sleep and possesses important antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties[1][2][3]. Melatonin is a novel selective ATF-6 inhibitor and induces human hepatoma cell apoptosis through COX-2 downregulation[4]. Melatonin attenuates palmitic acid-induced (HY-N0830) mouse granulosa cells apoptosis via endoplasmic reticulum stress[5].

    Ramelteon-d5
    		Agonist
    Ramelteon-d5 is deuterium labeled Ramelteon. Ramelteon is a potent, highly selective, and orally active agonist of MT1/MT2 with Ki values of 14 and 112 pM, respectively. Ramelteon has the potential for the research of insomnia. Ramelteon consistently reduces sleep onset after long-term treatment, with no next-morning residual effects or rebound insomnia or withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation[1][2].
