Characterization of the Mel1c melatoninergic receptor in platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus).

Characterization of the Mel1c melatoninergic receptor in platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus).

Melatonin is a neurohormone produced in both animals and plants. It binds at least three G-protein-coupled receptors: MT1 and MT2, and Mel1cGPR. Mammalian GPR50 evolved from the reptilian/avian Mel1c and lost its capacity to bind melatonin in all the therian mammal species that have been tested. In...
