Mtnr1a - melatonin receptor 1A Gene

Predicted to enable hormone binding activity; Melatonin Receptor activity; and organic cyclic compound binding activity. Predicted to be involved in adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; circadian rhythm; and negative regulation of Insulin secretion. Predicted to act upstream of or within signal transduction. Predicted to be located in neuronal cell body. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; brain; gonad; intestine; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human MTNR1A (Melatonin Receptor 1A).
