Melatonin Receptor
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.
