A melatonin receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which binds melatonin.^[1]

Three types of melatonin receptor have been cloned. The MT₁ (or Mel_1a or MTNR1A) and MT₂ (or Mel_1b or MTNR1B) receptor subtypes are present in humans and other mammals^[2], while an additional melatonin receptor subtype Mel_1c has been identified in amphibia and birds.^[3]

[edit] Expression patterns

In mammals, melatonin receptors are found in the brain and some peripheral organs. However, there is considerable variation in the density and location of the expression of melatonin receptors between species.^[4] The MT₁ subtype is present in the pars tuberalis of the pituitary gland and the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus. The MT₂ subtype is mainly present in the retina. The Mel_1c type receptor of many lower vertebrates is expressed in many brain areas.^[3]
