---|---|
Function | High affinity receptor for melatonin. Likely to mediate the reproductive and circadian actions of melatonin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity. Possibly involved in sleep induction, by melatonin activation of the potassium channel KCNMA1/BK and the dissociation of G-beta and G-gamma subunits, thereby decreasing synaptic transmission (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in hypophyseal pars tuberalis and hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). Hippocampus |
